The contemporary art project ‘Vetrina’ inaugurated its second cycle of presentations in February 2024. After exploring the broad theme of nature through the site-specific works of the first nine invited artists, the focus has now shifted to the theme of activism, exclusively involving women artists who are enterprising and provocative in different ways and who have always, in their works, provided space for a proactive reflection on the contemporary world. The 2025 exhibition programme was inaugurated with “Night Eyes” by Mariana Hahn.
For Vetrina#14, Vino Vero has invited Isabella Staino (Florence, 1977), a visual artist who explores the tension of the feminine, the symbolic resonance of the animal world, and the power of the dreamlike. Her work stands out for its intense and deeply personal use of colour, her painting often taking the form of narrative, in a continuous dialogue with literature, memory, and vision.
The artist unveils a new series of works on paper titled “Tarot / Tarocchi – What the Caterpillar Calls the End, the Master Calls a Butterfly”, inspired by a personal tarot reading, which she experienced firsthand with the help of her friend Emiliano Terreni. The resulting pieces were conceived and created especially for Vetrina.
