Irene Dionisio. Miracola

MAD Murate Art District presents Miracola, the new exhibition project by Irene Dionisio, an internationally renowned filmmaker and artist. Curated by Valentina Gensini, the exhibition runs from September 17 to November 22, 2026, and premieres a previously unseen film produced by MAD Murate Art District, which is set to enrich the permanent collection of the Florentine Civic Museums.

At the heart of Irene Dionisio’s exploration lies the relationship between Saint Agatha, the patron saint of Catania, and Mount Etna, a dominant feature of the Sicilian landscape and, at the same time, a symbol of nature’s generative and destructive forces. It is from this relationship that the artist develops a reflection on the landscape, understood not only as a physical space but also as a layered, mental space where individual memory, history, and the collective imagination meet, overlap, and transform.

This new work was produced by MAD Murate Art District, the City of Florence’s Center for Contemporary Art managed by the Mus.e Foundation, and was realized thanks to the support of PAC2025—the Plan for Contemporary Art, promoted by the Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.
