FLUIDO

24.11.2025

FLUIDO is a book by journalist and essayist Roberta Scorranese. Fluido is also a performative reading that Scorranese presented at Studio Gariboldi—an expressive way of recounting the volume through the very images that accompany it. Three aspects, in particular, invited deeper reflection: first, the paintings and sculptures that explore representations of fatherhood; second, the awareness that art history contains a remarkable number of portrayals of sleeping women; and third—an element on which Scorranese placed special emphasis—the essential need to encounter artworks directly, without the mediation of social media, by visiting museums, collections, and art galleries.
Upon entering our space, the author expressed it this way: “How wonderful it is to be in a gallery talking about art and about my book!”

FLUIDO is thus a twofold invitation: on the one hand, to let oneself be carried by the shifting, metamorphic nature of bodies in art; and on the other, whenever and wherever possible, to seek out the places that safeguard their aesthetic and artistic legacy.
