Fuorisalone | L'Appartamento by Artemest

7-13 April 2025 | digital art | Palazzo Donizetti, Milano

As part of L’Appartamento by Artemest during Milano Design Week 2025, two works from Andrea Morucchio’s Puzzling Classics series were exhibited at the historic Palazzo Donizetti. 

Curated within the Entertainment Room designed by London-based studio 1508 London, the artworks seamlessly integrated into an eclectic and immersive interior inspired by 19th-century salons and exclusive members’ clubs.

The pieces, digital reinterpretations of Renaissance nudes by Raphael and Giampietrino, are composed of thousands of mosaic-like tiles derived from photographs of the polychrome marble floors of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice. Morucchio’s technique fuses classical iconography with a fragmented visual language, evoking themes of identity, memory, and transformation.

In the richly layered and narrative-driven setting by 1508 London, Morucchio’s Puzzling Classics resonate as both visual focal points and conceptual reflections, reinforcing the dialogue between contemporary art, design, and historical legacy.
