Marialba RussoSguardo rovescio
Sep 24, 2026 – Jan 31, 2027 Salario
The first major Italian museum show of Marialba Russo: seven photo series from the 1970s that turn a woman’s eye on masculinity in southern Italy.
Russo, born in Giugliano, near Naples, in 1947, photographed men at feasts and rites across the South: men dressed as women for carnival in Campania (Travestimento), a man miming childbirth (Il Parto), a healing rite on a mountain near Avellino, a tarantism rite at Galatina, 130 men seen from behind, and porn-film posters on the walls of Naples and Aversa.
A second part, Immagini della Madonna dell’Arco (After), is at the Museo delle Civiltà. Curated by Cristiana Perrella and Elena Magini.
