{"product_id":"piero-pizzi-cannella-melograno","title":"Piero Pizzi Cannella – Melograno","description":"\u003cp\u003ePiero Pizzi Cannella (b. 1955) stands among the most distinctive voices in Italian contemporary painting and a central figure of Rome’s Scuola di San Lorenzo, a generation that reasserted the primacy of image, memory, and material presence with an unmistakably lyrical gravity. His vocabulary—fans, maps, inscriptions, and emblematic objects—transforms everyday forms into suspended icons, where matter becomes metaphor and private recollection opens onto shared mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Melograno” (Pomegranate) is a recent, unique work that concentrates one of the artist’s most resonant motifs into an intimate yet commanding composition. The fruit—an enduring symbol of fertility, abundance, and mystery across Mediterranean and sacred iconographies—appears as a poised, almost weightless presence against a rarefied, textured ground. The mark is restrained and time-worn, as if drawn from remembrance rather than observation, balancing figuration and abstraction with the quiet intensity of a secular altarpiece. For collectors, the appeal lies in the maturity of Cannella’s language at this stage of his practice, the clarity of the motif within his recognized corpus, and the sustained attention his recent production has received from curators and institutions. With established institutional visibility (including exhibitions at MACRO Rome, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, MART Rovereto, Triennale di Milano, and Museo Pecci) and a market that has shown steady demand for mid-scale unique works, “Melograno” offers a museum-grade acquisition that aligns cultural significance with long-term, collection-driven solidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53877522071892,"sku":"2232","price":25300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/file-1757425013741-1.png?v=1772728487","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/piero-pizzi-cannella-melograno","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
