“Delle piccole e grandi cose” Mirna Manni
San Mauro Pascoli | Italy 

 

Co-curated by Arch. Andrea Pompili and Arch. Marisa Zattini, the exhibition by Mirna Manni, is presented at Villa Torlonia, marking the 170th anniversary of Giovanni Pascoli.

Conceived as a contemporary homage to one of Italy’s major poets, the project explores themes of intimacy, memory, life, and death through a layered visual language. Ceramic sculptures, paintings, and embroidered poetic texts—interwoven with natural fragments—compose a lyrical and immersive environment that echoes Pascoli’s poetics.

The exhibition presents nine installations, alongside a symbolic “beneaugurale” work. As noted by Andrea Pompili in the catalog published by Il Vicolo Editore, Mirna Manni’s practice brings together painting, sculpture, and “stitched” words into a single expressive gesture in which matter and language converge.

The project unfolds as a contemplative space, where art invites reflection on the “small and great things” of human experience.
