Prada X Francesco Vezzoli ‘Vita Dulcis’

Prada celebrates artist Francesco Vezzoli and his new exhibition ‘Vita Dulcis’

On April 20th, 2023, at Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome Prada organized an exclusive preview event in honor of artist Francesco Vezzoli and his new exhibition ‘Vita Dulcis’.

The exhibition Vita Dulcis, scheduled to run from 22 April to 27 August 2023, is curated by Francesco Vezzoli and Stéphane Verger, and takes its cue from the artist’s most recent output to offer visitors an innovative and unusual experience linking contemporary art, archaeology and the cinema.

A series of works from the “24Hours Museum” project is also on display. The project, conceived by Francesco Vezzoli with Prada in 2012, showed interpretations of classical sculptures that make reference to contemporary divas, for 24 hours only, in the historic Palais d’Iéna in Paris.
