In Naples, at the Museo Madre, there’s a new exhibition called “Il resto di niente” (The Remains of Nothing), put together by the museum and Gucci. This exhibition brings together different artists who use everything from photos to neon lights to share their stories about buildings and the feelings they stir up.

The show looks back at the work of Aldo Loris Rossi, an important Italian architect, and mixes it with pieces from other artists, both old and new. They all look at how buildings and places shape who we are and how we feel.

The title of the exhibition comes from a book that talks about big changes in Naples back in 1799. The artworks here try to connect those past changes to what could happen in the city today.

After some time off for fixing up the place, the museum is back with this exhibition. It’s a big deal because it’s the first time the museum has worked with a private company like this. Gucci’s involvement shows they’re interested in supporting places that share their sense of style and art.

When you walk through the exhibition, you’ll see drawings and plans by Rossi and Mazzoleni that show a mix of wild ideas and real buildings in Naples. There’s also a photographer, Tobias Zielony, who has taken pictures of some of these buildings for the show.

The exhibition isn’t just about looking at drawings and photos; it’s about feeling connected to the places we live and understanding how they touch our lives. It’s a chance to see how artists from different times and places respond to the same questions about our cities and our emotions.
