Genius Loci

GENIUS LOCI is an artistic project created by artists Stefano Forgione and Giuseppe Rossi. The concept stems from the idea of creating works of art in situ at select historical sites, using the original technique of the natural proliferation of molds on jute, with pictorial intervention by the artists.

GENIUS LOCI, created by TTOZOI and developed under the patronage of Italy’s Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Tourism and MiBACT Tourism, has taken place at two of Italy’s UNESCO World Heritage sites: The ROYAL PALACE OF CASERTA with its Necropoli Sannita dating back to the 4th century BC, and in the amphitheater in the ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK OF POMPEII, which was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and later unearthed.

The Museo Italo Americano is proud to present GENIUS LOCI, an exhibition of the works created at the UNESCO site,
