TRASGUARDO

A decade of vision, light, and poetry: the photography of Antonio Delluzio arrives at MUST in Lecce with the exhibition “Trasguardo”

The MUST – Historical Museum of the City of Lecce hosts Trasguardo, a solo exhibition by photographer Antonio Delluzio, celebrating his first ten years of artistic work through a visually powerful and emotionally resonant journey.

Organized and produced by NUMM Contemporary Art (Casale Monferrato), the exhibition presents a selection of emblematic works that traverse and synthesize the artist’s decade-long creative path, marking key moments, insights, and shifts in perspective. Delluzio’s photographs—intense, evocative, and able to merge landscape, body, and time—engage in dialogue with the poetic texts of Paola Turroni, offering visitors an immersive experience where image and word, vision and reflection, intertwine.

Trasguardo is a title that plays on the boundary between “goal” (traguardo) and “gaze” (sguardo), evoking the sense of a transition: not an endpoint, but a creative threshold from which to look ahead toward new explorations.

The exhibition is accompanied by a monographic volume that brings together the featured works, poetic texts, and a critical essay by photographer and writer Pio Tarantini, who explores Delluzio’s evolving gaze within the landscape of contemporary photography.

The exhibition is hosted in the prestigious setting of MUST in Lecce, located in the vibrant heart of the old city, overlooking the evocative ruins of the Roman Theatre. As a space where contemporary art meets historical memory, the MUST proves to be an ideal venue for a reflection on identity, vision, and time.

The closing event of the exhibition, on July 25, will be a public evening conversation: an engaging dialogue in which Antonio Delluzio will speak with Paola Turroni and curator/art critic Carmelo Cipriani about the themes and techniques featured in the show.
