The exhibition titled "errabunda" opens this Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 6:30 PM, at the Civic Museum Romanazzi Carducci of Santo Mauro in Putignano (BA), curated by Roberta Mansueto.
errabunda emerges as a journey through the spaces of the Civic Museum Romanazzi Carducci in Putignano (BA): the exhibition's title comes from a voice of the past — that of Sibilla Aleramo — that in the present becomes a bridge, echo, and opening. In Aleramo, wandering is an existential condition, a body that walks, a mind that wanders, an identity that rebuilds itself through geographical and cultural wandering.
The exhibition unfolds in the historic rooms of the Civic Museum Romanazzi Carducci in Putignano, a place that holds memories of a noble past and a stratified Puglia, suspended between deep roots, class struggles, and a narrative that is more distant from us today but has nonetheless shaped places, knowledge, and the natural and human landscape. In this context, wandering manifests as a dialogue between eras: the tranquility of the 18th-19th century rooms meets contemporary art, generating a mixed time, and new positions in which to recognize oneself.

Eight artists are invited to engage with the environments of the Civic Museum of Putignano: works by Valeria Carrieri, Roberto Casti, Grazialba di Summa, Melania Fusco, Lucia Leuci, Gianluca Marinelli, Aminta Pierri, and Domenico Ruccia, become nodes in the spaces still marked by the life of its ancestors, now becoming a place for the representation of new perspectives.

Writing – from the homage to Aleramo onward – returns as an overflowing exercise in many works on display: it takes the form of an installation that asks for public interaction in Roberto Casti's work; in the documentary and meta-narrative exercise between art language and existential research in Gianluca Marinelli's documentary; a sign almost abstract, becoming "desired" in the works of Aminta Pierri; in the myth that tries to renew itself in non-binary and non-patriarchal perspectives in Valeria Carrieri's papier-mâché work.
Beyond the presence of writing, the various languages of contemporary art – painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography – create a path of works that formalize each artist's research.
The organic material and design of the form in Grazialba di Summa's ceramics; the skins of the "lunar hare" (an imaginary animal inspired by Jorge Luis Borges's 1957 text "Manual of Fantastic Zoology") by Melania Fusco; the revisitation in a post-Art Nouveau key of traditional stained-glass windows depicting bold women by Lucia Leuci; the visual atlas of Domenico Ruccia's paintings with nocturnal or twilight tones; Aminta Pierri's research, in the concrete exercise of reworking a family archive, decoding a genealogy of the present.
