October 31 - March 30 2025. Art exhibition. Abitanti di un altrove Sandro Chia incontra Axel Munthe.

On October 31 at 6 p.m., the exhibition Abitanti di un altrove Sandro Chia incontra Axel Munthe opens at Villa San Michele, in collaboration with l'Associazione Rosaio - Arte e Cultura Contemporanea.
The exhibition honors the multifaceted doctor and writer Axel Munthe 75 years after his death, with a series of new works by the well-known Italian artist Sandro Chia, one of the most prominent representatives of the Italian Transavanguardia art movement.
The exhibition consists of a completely new series of drawings on paper, made for this occasion. The figures depicted appear to belong to another world, somewhere between the present and the past. They exist as if in an imaginative and shared "elsewhere" where the strong tempera colors in Chia's work are presented against a background of enlarged black and white photos from Axel Munthe's life. The exhibition is curated by Arianna Rosica and Gianluca Riccio.
The vernissage is followed by a recitation by the culture association Kaire of Anacapri with Mario Staiano and Marco Multari, singing by Natalina Terminiello and music by Al Martino.

The exhibit ends on March 30 2025.
