ETTORE SPALLETTI

We meet the great Italian artist Ettore Spalletti, known for his Minimalist installations of paintings and sculptures, in his everyday world – methodical and contemplative – of the places where he lives – Pescara, his home in Spoltore, his studio in Cappelle sul Tavo, the abbeys and the mountains, the sea and the sky of Abruzzo – and of his public image at numerous solo exhibitions in the world’s leading galleries and museums. A number of different voices, including those of the art historian Germano Celant, the Jesuit father Andrea Dall’Asta, Andrew Leslie Heyward, director of the Marian Goodman Gallery, and the gallery owners Lia Rumma and his niece Benedetta Spalletti, build up a personal and artistic portrait of the artist.
