In the studio with Iva Lulashi (Iva Lulashi) and Carlo Sala (Carlo Sala) to film an interview with Iva, who held her first solo exhibition at Villa Rondinelli in 20217, in a show curated by Carlo Sala. ‘Frames’, as the exhibition was titled, explored the relationship between painting and memory, electronic media and colour on canvas.

A great deal has happened since that exhibition. In 2021, Iva presented a celebrated solo exhibition entitled “Libere e desideranti”, curated by Giuseppe Iannaccone, at the Oratorio dei Disciplinati di Santa Caterina in Corniglia, in Cinque Terre. The exhibition featured a series of paintings created during the artist’s residency in the Ligurian town.

In 2024, Iva Lulashi was chosen to represent the Albanian Pavilion at the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, entitled “Stranieri Ovunque” (“Strangers Everywhere”). Her solo exhibition, titled “Love as a glass of water” and curated by Antonio Grulli, tackled the themes of eros, love and freedom against all forms of censorship or ideological coercion. This participation represented an ideal coming full circle for the artist, who returned to exhibit in the very same Venice where she had once been a student and where her artistic vision had been shaped.

The relationship between Iva Lulashi and the curator and art critic Carlo Sala forms a fundamental axis for the historicisation and critical interpretation of the artist’s painting. Sala has closely followed Lulashi’s evolution from the very beginning, acting as a privileged interpreter of her theoretical and formal research through ongoing collaboration.

On Sunday, October 11, from 6 pm, Villa Rondinelli presents "Ces cerises", an exhibition by Francesco Carone () curated by Erica Romano (.romano), as part of the Arte e Botanica programme coordinated by artistic director Marco Mazzi (Marco Mazzi).

The exhibition revisits works from "Bo***ir", Carone’s 2016 solo exhibition at SpazioA in Pistoia. Exactly ten years later, "Ces cerises" takes up a thread left open, continuing a process that remained unfinished in its unfolding.

At the heart of Carone’s work is eroticism, understood as a vital force that activates systems of duality and intimate relations between physical and imaginary worlds. The gardens and architecture of Villa Rondinelli become the setting for a continuous play of references and reflections, inviting the gaze to expand or narrow in an act of perception that reaches beneath the surface.

The exhibition is accompanied by a self-published publication featuring images from "Bo***ir" (2016), the artist’s original text, an insight on the development of "Ces cerises" (2026) and dedicated texts by the curator.

----
Working primarily with sculpture, installation and graphic media, Francesco Carone (Siena, 1975) creates poetic and visionary works that intertwine personal experience with references to literature, mythology and art history. His recurring themes include the tension between personal and natural time, idols, eroticism, error, the transformative potential of detail, human transience and beauty. Together with Eugenia Vanni, he is the founder and director of Museo d’Inverno (Museo d'Inverno) in Siena.

Congratulations to Gōzō Yoshimasu on being awarded the prestigious Serpentine x Flag Art Foundation Prize.

In 2024, we had the hour of publishing the first Italian translation of Yoshimasu's extended poem "Goro-goro" with Villa Rondinelli Editions.

Edited by Marco Mazzi () and designed by Elisabetta Porcinai (), this book-object was created based on the idea of a moving landscape, depicting the very locus of the poet’s wanderings: the Ryūkyū Islands (“Nansei Islands” in Japanese).

“The city is a discourse and this discourse is truly a language: the city speaks to its inhabitants; we speak our city, the city where we are, simply by living in it, by wandering through it, by looking at it.”
— Roland Barthes

On Sunday, 19 April 2026 at 6 pm, Villa Rondinelli is pleased to invite you to the opening of “La Fiorita”, a project by Scartoni/Donati, curated by Marco Mazzi.

Through the camera lens, we gain access to a unique aspect of the city’s unconscious and its hidden actors, where video editing becomes a narrative technique for telling the story of “La Fiorita”—understood both as the state of blossoming of any subject and as the eponymous company that pro-duces produce crates for the Novoli market.

Irene Scartoni and Giacomo Donati graduated in Decoration and Painting from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, where they are currently attending the postgraduate programme in New Expressive Lan-guages. Since 2022, they have collaborated under the name Scartoni/Donati, developing projects that explore the relationship between inhabitants and the city through sound experimentation, performative language, and new media. Their work investigates how perception and gaze transform inhabited space through intermedial practices and decontextualized everyday gestures. In 2024 they participated in Ar-te Fiera in Bologna, curated by Carlo Falciani.
The event is free of charge and free for everyone to attend.
