Explaining Giovanni Alfano work, Nikka Cingolani has written" Giovanni Alfano subjects are blocked and helpless, with their hands covering their faces in order to protect their identity and to keep their disturbances hidden, reveiling two opposing forces: exposing themselves to the eye and at the same time hiding their own. The result is stillness and silence..
Pain, hopelessness, shyness, fear, shame, are some of the emotions which don't belong only to one's body and mind any more, but are by now an integral part of the social environment, of its values and of its rules. For this reason the carachters try to defend themselves from the interaction with others, undergoing their sight anyway. Painted en grisaille, in a velvety grey, hit by a widespread and diffuse light, they introduce us in a path of perception and contemplation more psycological and introspective, without hindrance of colours."

What means being twenty? It's in a way the meeting between dreams and new perspectives, expectations that open, new directions you take, yet it's the time of life in which we encounter the real responsibilities and sorrow. It is the growth with a look to the past and an eye to the future. Once again Marcony Gallery tries to talk about art, trying to renew and innovate but with the responsibility to know where it is and on what basis should it continue to grow. Arriving at twenty isn't little and it isn't easy, yet it is a key point to continue to grow with one's dreams beyond the illusions. (http://youtu.be/Nvvu9fN9qeE)
