This year, we interviewed Frankie Boyle, a London-based artist who is reshaping how we experience light. She explained how light can move far beyond aesthetics, becoming a living force that shapes our biology, emotions, and psychological balance.
Diagnosed with a language disorder at a young age, she developed a heightened sensitivity to light—an experience that profoundly shaped her creativity. Today, this perception translates into immersive installations where dynamic light effects, natural materials, and curved forms echo the rhythms of nature, transforming space into deeply emotional, healing experiences.

Unveiled on July 3 at San Francesco della Scarpa, the scale model of Edoardo Tresoldi's latest work offers a glimpse into the monumental installation currently taking shape in the archaeological site of San Pietro in Bari. Tresoldi's innovative use of wire mesh and reclaimed construction materials reimagines the ancient church as memory and architecture. His work, where transparency becomes a tool for rewriting the sacred, and the city's ruins are transformed into living matter, is a powerful testament to the transformative potential of art in our local environment.
The installation is part of a broader enhancement project for the San Pietro Archaeological Area and the Archaeological Museum of Santa Scolastica, promoted by the Italian Ministry of Culture and coordinated by the Regional Secretariat of MiC for Puglia.

Until November 2, 2025, the Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci in Prato presents Light Lights, a solo show by Davide Stucchi featuring sculptural works made between 2019 and 2025—all centered on the theme of light. Playfully reworking lamps, fixtures, and appliqués, Stucchi reshapes the visitor’s sense of space and presence, evoking absent bodies or fleeting stories just out of frame. The exhibition unfolds as an immersive environment that slowly reveals itself, choreographing gestures, glances, and movements to reflect on the fleeting nature of human encounters.

In 1965, designer Vico Magistretti sketched a lamp on the back of a metro ticket in Milan, Italy. He had in mind ascene from “Les Misérables”, Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel, where Jean Valjean uses a shuttered lantern to move unseen. That idea became Eclisse: three hemispheres, one of which rotates to modulate the light, much like a lunar eclipse. It won the Compasso d’Oro in 1967 and never left the spotlight. Today, it’s still made by Artemide, in classic colors and new sustainable PVD finishes. And it lives on—at theMoMA, at the Triennale, and in bedrooms around the world.
