Zero Hour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Cappella Bonajuto in Catania, Sicily, Italy
16 December 2025-1 February 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cZero Hour\u201d blends tradition, origins, and development in a dialogue between past history and contemporary artistic analysis. The solemn architecture merges with the alternative visions of 11 artists, a comparison of research and techniques, unconstrained by thematic limitations.

Traditional and experimental painting, sculpture, collage, pure photography, and compositions are the modus operandi of Riccardo Bandiera, Silvia Beltrami, Salvatore Bonajuto, Omar Galliani, Mihailo Karanovic, Giorgio Laveri, Maurizio L\u2019Altrella, Piero Mollica, Nello Petrucci, Pino Pinelli, and Roberto Rinella. The Bonajuto Chapel is an extraordinary example of Byzantine architecture located in Catania, Sicily.

This exhibition was curated by Trichora Contemporary.
