Ecco la traduzione in inglese, curata per mantenerne il tono evocativo e il linguaggio artistico:
In 2025, the Leonardo Trulli Resort presented the first edition of “Ritorni” (Returns), featuring a solo exhibition by sculptor Emanuele Giannelli, open to the public from August 5 to October 30, 2025.
Curated by Lucrezia Sanchini, the exhibition offered a profound dialogue between contemporary art and the local area, set against the unique backdrop of the centuries-old trulli in the Valle d’Itria.
Internationally renowned for his impressive installations, Giannelli brought his imagery—rich in tension and irony—to the heart of Puglia. His hybrid figures, which merge the human body, architecture, and technology, nestle among the white limestone rocks with a silent force, creating a visual spark between the ancient and the future, between form and vision.
Emblematic works, such as the iconic Mr Arbitrium, question visitors on individual responsibility, the weight of choice, and the capacity to resist and transform. These are not mere objects, but active presences that inhabit the space and rewrite it.
The title “Ritorni” is a declaration of meaning. After traveling through complex urban settings like Florence and Milan, and reaching as far as Ukraine, Giannelli’s works make a conscious return.
It is not a step backward, but a deep movement toward the origin—toward a suspended moment in time where man, weary of dominating, stops, observes, and listens.
In the landscape of the Leonardo Trulli Resort, amidst dry-stone walls, olive groves, and ancient architecture, his sculptures tuned into their surroundings—not imposing, but engaging in a dialogue. It is here that man, laden with industrial and urban memory, finds a renewed sense of meaning through a connection with nature.
The resulting immersive experience is a clear invitation to slowness, mindfulness, and presence.
A return that is not geographical, but inner.
