"Passeggiata Archeologica" by Giovanni Di Carpegna.

Digital artwork printed on canvas with acrylics
70 x 50 cm
2020

Giovanni Di Carpegna emphasizes the energy that is created when two living creatures meet. He believes that in that precise moment a very strong energy is created. Every element of the Earth, beit an animal, a man or a plant, holds an emotion: it can intimidate you, fascinate or intrigue you. This is one of those moments: between the cat and an elegantly dressed gentleman.

Giovanni Di Carpegna was born in Rome in 1966 and began to paint as a child. He completed studies in the artistic field, refining over the years various painting and engraving techniques, exploring new forms of expressive and representational communication. He has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale. His installations, design works and photographic collections are well known. Giovanni Di Carpegna is also an exhibition curator and illustrator.

Project by Olimpia Rospigliosi curated by Bohdan Stupak. Between 14 and 22 July it will be possible to view the works exclusively on appointment at the Studio Rospigliosi in Piazza Borromeo 10 in Milan, Italy.

The Cause

LaSpes Onlus is a non-profit association that finances scholarships for young researchers. 100% of the money raised is devolved to the cause. The association was set up in memory of Francesco, a young man suffering from WAS, one of many rare genetic diseases.

WAS (Wiskott Aldrich Syndrom) is characterized by an immune deficiency belonging to the large category of primitive immunodeficiencies. It begins in childhood with eczema and recurrent infections, coagulation disorders and abnormalities in the number and function of platelets.

Understanding whether a child is affected by WAS means being able to intervene immediately: this is why early diagnosis is essential.

LaSpes Onlus therefore supports research that is not carried out by pharmaceutical companies. It focuses on young people and the future of science in the hope of give those affected by WAS and other rare diseases the longest possible future.

Italian actor and director Alessandro Preziosi is ambassador for the association.
