Calabria through my eyes. Spirituality and culture

From 16 to 28 September 2025, the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria will host the photographic exhibition 'Calabria through my eyes. Spirituality and culture', a journey that recounts the region through a new and profound perspective.

The exhibition, promoted by the 'Jole Santelli' association in collaboration with the MArRC, stems from an editorial project involving young autistic models, who are the protagonists of shots that intertwine places of spirituality and contemporary fashion languages.

The photographs by Emanuela Tetto, taken together with master photographer Giuseppe Fata, transport visitors to sanctuaries, hermitages and rock chapels, evocative settings in which the clothes worn by the young people conjure up atmospheres that are sometimes solemn, sometimes daring, but always full of energy and meaning.

The book accompanying the exhibition expands on the content with images, descriptions and testimonials that portray Calabria not only as a geographical setting, but as a living cultural reality, made up of landscapes, places of worship and artistic presences that dialogue with the sensitivity of the young models.

A project that, in the name of inclusion, breaks down stereotypes and opens up new perspectives on Calabrian art, culture and identity.
