Mauro Davoli's exhibition "Nature Vive", sponsored by the Emilia Romagna Region and set up in the headquarters of the Legislative Assembly in Viale Aldo Moro in Bologna, opens on Thursday 11 May.

The exhibition, curated by Giovanni Gazzaneo, created in collaboration with Galleria Forni, will be open from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm, until 24 May.

​

Fruit and flowers that come to life thanks to skilful plays of light, flowers whose petals assert themselves to the visitor's eye thanks to gentle veins that release vitality and humanity.

The artist from Parma - with his camera - tells curious and unexpected aspects of the nature that accompanies us, especially in this spring season which has always been dedicated to the rebirth of nature after the winter period. Davoli's photographs portray fruit, vegetables and flowers that seem to really come alive under the visitor's gaze thanks above all to the artist's skilful play of light.
