For the fifth edition of Panorama, the city-wide exhibition conceived by ITALICS – returns to its roots, to the beating heart of Campania: Pozzuoli

From 10 to 14 September 2025, the eagerly awaited appointment will take place amidst the volcanic and mythological scenarios of Pozzuoli, a city-threshold between land and sea, history and imagination. Dominating it, the Rione Terra, a promontory and fulcrum of the city’s identity, beneath which lies one of the Mediterranean’s most evocative archaeological routes. An area that has been uninhabited since the Seventies and is now made accessible and visitable again thanks to an ambitious restoration project. Curating this fifth edition is Chiara Parisi, director of the Centre Pompidou-Metz, who will take the public on an immersive journey between divinity and creation, in a dialogue between memory and the urgencies of the present. 

This showcase exhibition inside the Study Rooms of the Draiflessen Collection in Mettingen, Germany, brings together two fascinating artistic positions that meet and engage in dialogue across different eras and mediums: the Dutch engraver Crispijn de Passe the Younger (1594–1670) and the contemporary Italian artist Lilla Tabasso (b. 1973). Their common theme: the timeless beauty of flowers. While De Passe recorded floral diversity in his printed herbarium Hortus Floridus in the seventeenth century, Tabasso takes his depictions as the artistic starting point for her hyperrealistic sculptures made of Murano glass.
