IL MARE LA STORIA IL SOGNO

Siracusa (SR)

Twenty-six photographs by Luca Scamporlino make up this exhibition hosted in the Ipogeo di Piazza Duomo. The shots traverse Syracuse with a gaze that combines urban glimpses, expanses of sea, architectures and natural landscapes, putting the historical identity of the city into dialogue with a poetic and suspended dimension. The setting in the evocative hypogeum space creates a short circuit between contemporary art and the archaeological stratification of the site, offering a visual path that invites you to rediscover the city through its traces of light and stone.
