Clemen Parrocchetti – Rebel Irony

From October 2, 2025, to January 6, 2026, Palazzo Medici Riccardi hosts Rebel Irony, the first major Italian retrospective dedicated to Clemen Parrocchetti (Milan, 1923–2016), a nonconformist artist and original voice of the twentieth century. Closely linked to the feminist movement, Parrocchetti developed a provocative and authentic visual language, challenging patriarchal culture and exploring the complexity of female identity.

The exhibition, promoted by the Metropolitan City of Florence, is produced by Fondazione MUS.E based on a project by Museo Novecento, in collaboration with the Clemen Parrocchetti Archive. Curated by Marco Scotini and Stefania Rispoli, with artistic direction by Sergio Risaliti, the show brings together over one hundred works—including paintings, drawings, sculptures, tapestries, and archival materials—offering a powerful insight into an artist who skillfully combined aesthetic research with political engagement, all through a lens of refined irony.

On Saturdays and Sundays, visitors can join guided tours that trace the key stages of Clemen Parrocchetti’s long artistic journey.
