“Nocturnal memory” is a collection of images and words, photos and excerpts.
A tale about Milan and Rome but also an abstract portrait that could depict any city in any country throughout the world.
The artwork revolves around the night, the eternal backdrop of mankind, a universal theme experienced and decrypted by photographer Paolo Belletti and writer Giulia Cavaliere based on the different bonds and relationships that these artists have forged with the two Italian cities.
Through the darkness of night, the project unveils the surprising hidden life of empty urban spaces, paving the way for a new aesthetic and cognitive experience for the viewer and, possibly, for a new relationship with the city itself.
Paolo Belletti is a freelance photographer. He works for Italian magazines like Il Corriere della Sera, L’Espresso, Io_Donna, Living, Wu Magazine.
His projects have been exhibited Milan, Rome, Xì an and Muscat.
Giulia Cavaliere studied literature focusing on the history of cinema, theater and media languages. She has published two short stories.

On the occasion of the Photo Exhibition, the movie “The great beauty” by Paolo Sorrentino, winner as “Best Foreign Language Film” the Oscar 2014, will be screened at “Casa Italia”, on Friday May 16th at 7,30pm.
