From 5 December to 3 May, Palazzo Farnese is hosting the exhibition “Sibille. Voci oltre il tempo, oltre la pietra” (Sibyls. Voices beyond time, beyond stone), curated by director Antonio Iommelli.
The star of the exhibition is Domenichino's Sibyl of Cumae, a 17th-century masterpiece on loan from the Galleria Borghese in Rome, accompanied by eight contemporary sculptures by Piacenza-based artist Christian Zucconi.
The exhibition offers a fascinating journey into the myth of the Sibyls, prophetic figures present in various symbolic locations in Piacenza, such as the Cathedral, Santa Maria di Campagna and the Basilica of San Francesco, creating a dialogue between ancient and contemporary art. Zucconi's works, in Persian red travertine and iron, renew the meaning of the myth through a strong symbolic and psychological dimension.
The exhibition creates an ideal bridge between masters such as Pordenone, Malosso, Guercino and Domenichino and current artistic research, confirming the vitality of the Sibylline theme in the history of Italian art.
