An homage to Alessandro Poerio’s poems, personal exhibition at Maschio Angioino, Naples, January 2016; Parallax Art Fair, Chelsea Town Hall, London, February 2017. According to Vittorio Sgarbi, “it is fresh and without sophistication the idea of beauty that underlies Anna Poerio’s works, often accomplished through elegant choreographic representations, so as to make us remember that the human body, caught in harmonic movements that express the level of ideal balance with nature, is still poetry par excellence, today as yesterday, today as tomorrow”.
