Nunzio | in clamorosa quiete

Luca Massimo Barbero, 2026

The catalog has been published to accompany the exhibition Nunzio | in clamorosa quiete curated by Luca Massimo Barbero. This major retrospective, featuring over 40 works, traces the artist’s entire career.

 

The exhibition marks a historic anniversary: the first time Luca Massimo Barbero wrote a critical essay on the artist was in 1996—exactly thirty years ago—on the occasion of the exhibition Nunzio at the Galleria Cinquetti in Verona. It is precisely from the accompanying text for the Verona exhibition, written by Barbero, that today’s title, Nunzio. In clamorosa quiete, is taken.

 

This monographic volume dedicated to the artist is distinguished by its anthological approach: it includes the critical essay, edited by Luca Massimo Barbero and written specifically for this occasion, as well as Barbero’s aforementioned 1996 text. The edition brings together, in great detail, the entirety of the works on display—over 80 color plates—accompanied by numerous installation views and archival photographs.

 

The 216-page catalog is trilingual: Italian, English, and Chinese.
