"Remo Salvadori"

The project unfolds as a journey designed to guide visitors through the poetics of Remo Salvadori (Cerreto Guidi, Florence, 1947). It is a multilayered narrative which transcends time and space, spreading across three sites of significant historical and symbolic value: Palazzo Reale, the Museo del Novecento, and the Church of San Gottardo in Corte (part of the tour of the Museo del Duomo di Milano).

Ahead of the exhibition, from Wednesday 2 July 2025, the works L'osservatore si sposta osservandosi (“The Observer Moves Observing Himself”), 1982 and Figura (“Figure”), 2025 are presented in the Sala del Piccolo Lucernario of  Palazzo Reale. The site-specific work No' si volta chi a stella è fisso (“He Who is Fixed to a Star Turns Not”), 2004 (2025) will be set in the Sala delle Cariatidi. On the same date, a musical performance by Tutto Questo Sentire together with musicians from London will mark the presentation of these works of art. Also on 2 July, the Museo del Novecento will present the site-specific work Alveare (“Hive”), 1996 (2025), placed near the entrance ramp, which will become in the future part of the Museum's permanent collection. Through a site-specific intervention on the skylight above the entrance to the Sala delle Cariatidi, the artist will visually connect the Palazzo Reale and the Museo del Novecento.

From Tuesday 16 July, the “Remo Salvadori” exhibition will open to the public on the first floor of the Palazzo Reale and will remain open until 14 September with free admission. The set-up of the exhibition focuses on inner themes and in depth review of individual works, with an emphasis on aesthetic, emotional and energetic force.

From 19 July to 31 August 2025, thanks to Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano, the work 10 Frecce nei colori di minerali (“10 Arrows in the Colors of Minerals”), 1969-1970 resonates with the sacred architecture of the Chiesa San Gottardo in Corte, part of a guided tour to the Duomo Museum, in such way sharing a thoughtful experience.

The project brings more than 50 significant works, created by the artist between 1969 and today. The path of the exhibition distances itself from the traditional concept of a monographic and chronological review.  It has been conceived by the artist and the curators in such manner that each element of it is influenced by the work, by the visitor's presence and by the space which welcomes it. Salvadori's research is rooted in a constant reflection on material  and the energy that runs through it with  an approach that  combines science, philosophy and spirituality.

Exhibition produced by Palazzo Reale and Eight Art Project in collaboration with Museo del Novecento.
