Casamadre
Art Gallery
One of the latest additions to Naples’ contemporary art scene, Casamadre is the creation of Eduardo Cicelyn, the former Director of the Madre Museum. Cicelyn is well connected enough in the national and international art arena that last year’s inaugural exhibition could count on works by top Italian artists like Francesco Clemente, Domenico Bianchi, and Michelangelo Pistoletto, alongside international figures such as Jannis Kounellis, Antony Gormley, and Anish Kapoor. The gallery is found in Piazza dei Martiri, one of the most enchanting squares in Naples, in a significant place; in 1969, prominent gallerist Lucio Amelio inaugurated a gallery that made the history of the arts in Naples for many years. Casamadre is open by appointment only.
