On Saturday, March 7th, GOVONE ARTE kicks off—a series of events dedicated to contemporary art held in the halls of the Govone Royal Castle.
Opening the season is “QUOTIDIANA UMANITÀ” (Everyday Humanity), a photography exhibition by Marco Mezzani. This project was born from a journey of over 3,500 kilometers through Northern India, from Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh.
A visual diary composed of faces, details, and ordinary gestures that reveal far more than they show.
The photographs do not seek to define India, but rather to convey the way it revealed itself to the author: direct, disarming, and deeply human.
Man and Space: Marco Mezzani’s research
Marco Mezzani’s research is built on the relationship between the individual and the environment.
Through editorial photography, portraiture, and documentary projects, he investigates how human beings inhabit, transform, and construct the world around them.
The landscape—whether urban or natural—is never just a backdrop, but an active presence.
It tells stories of traces, changes, and identities.
Born in Sarzana and living in Milan since 2011, Mezzani has developed an essential visual language based on the balance between space and human presence.
A dialogue between India and the Langhe and Roero regions
Hosting “QUOTIDIANA UMANITÀ” within the halls of the Castle means creating a dialogue between distant places, between historic architecture and modernity, between memory and vision.
The exhibition is free to visit during regular opening hours: every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
