From 17 July to 24 August 2025, Palazzo Gagliardi, in the heart of the historic centre of Vibo Valentia, will host “Art Exchange”, a contemporary art exhibition celebrating the centenary of the birth of Carlo Rambaldi (1925–2012), world-renowned special effects legend and winner of three Oscars.
The exhibition, which was already presented in New York in March, arrives in Calabria as part of an international cultural project that brings together 110 works by Italian and American artists in a creative dialogue inspired by the figure and legacy of Rambaldi, who lived the last years of his life in Lamezia Terme.
Art Exchange is an invitation to discover different artistic worlds, where painting, vision and freedom of expression intertwine in the name of the creator of icons such as E.T. and King Kong. The works on display range in style and technique, evoking the fantastical imagery that Rambaldi was able to translate into art, not only as a technician, but also as a painter and visionary.
