Siracusa: 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 views, expanses of sea, architecture and natural landscapes, putting the city's historical identity in dialogue with a poetic and suspended dimension. The installation in the evocative hypogeum space creates a short circuit between contemporary art and the archaeological stratification of the site, offering a visual journey that invites you to rediscover the city through its traces of light and stone.
