Enzo Cucchi

I maschi

The exhibition presents works from Per Cecco!, originally exhibited at the Forte Malatesta in Ascoli Piceno (Italy) in January 2024. In this project, Enzo Cucchi explores the figure of Cecco d’Ascoli – a philosopher, astronomer, astrologer, and medieval alchemist condemned for his ideas. The series brings together paintings, sculptures, drawings, and textiles, conceived to interact with the Madonna del Lago room, a space marked by its successive uses as a fortress, religious building, prison, and now a museum.
Through this project, Cucchi reinterprets the history and memory of these spaces, embedding the stories of the past in a new visual language. For I maschi, the works are reconfigured in a new installation spread across the gallery’s two floors.
