Curated by Francesco Ciaffi
OPENING: WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2026, AT 6:00 PM

On Wednesday, May 20, at 6:00 p.m., in the exhibition spaces of the Galleria Angelica at Via di Sant’Agostino 11 in Rome, a major exhibition dedicated to the work of the late Lino Tardia, who passed away on November 21, 2021, will open.
The exhibition, curated by Francesco Ciaffi and organized by the Edarcom Europa gallery in collaboration with the artist’s family, is intended as a comprehensive, though not exhaustive, tribute to the long and adventurous career of the renowned Sicilian painter, born in the late 1930s, who arrived in Rome at a very young age to study at the Academy and, beginning in the 1960s, became a leading figure in the capital’s cultural and social life while simultaneously participating in solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
The exhibition is accompanied by two major catalogs: one published on the occasion of the major retrospective held at Palazzo Venezia in 2009, edited by Claudio Strinati and Andrea Romoli Barberini; and the other published by Silvana Editoriale shortly after the artist’s death, featuring essays by Aldo Gerbino and Franco Campegiani.
The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge through May 29.
