The utopian homes of Francesco Simeti
A young artist working with psychiatric
patients.
Courageous and innovative,
this is the spirit of “Acrobazie”,
a project organised by the Atelier
di Pittura Adriano e Michele, at the
centre for psychiatric rehabilitation
Fatebenefratelli di San Colombano
al Lambro, sponsored by Unicredit
and curated by Elisa Fulco and
Teresa Maranzano. The protagonist
of the fourth edition is Palermo artist
Francesco Simeti, who last spring
involved members of the Atelier in a
workshop and worked with them to
devise houses that can accommodate
dreams and a desire for normality,
such as homes with double exposure
(sea and mountains), swimming
pools shaped like four-leaf clovers,
impenetrable castles and spaceship-
homes. The results of their
work are on show at San Colombano
from 5 October to 20 November. Elena Sommariva
