Galleria Doris Ghetta is delighted to invite you to the opening of “Corpi Santi”, the second solo exhibition by Pietro Moretti at our venue in Ortisei.

With this new body of work, Moretti unfolds a rich and evocative painterly universe where the uncanny and the marvellous surface within the textures of contemporary urban life. Drawing from literature, history, and personal experience, the works take shape along the banks of the Tiber, particularly near its mouth at the Idroscalo di Ostia. Here, a sequence of scenes emerges in which present-day figures encounter mythological and historical presences, fruits rise from the water, artefacts resurface, and bodies continuously shift and transform.

Moving between different temporalities and states of being, this procession of images navigates a delicate balance between reality and imagination. In dialogue with the tradition of the Roman school, Moretti alternates moments of quiet, measured realism with others in which the landscape turns inward, becoming psychological and open to multiple interpretations.

The exhibition is accompanied by a curatorial text by Eleonora Aloise.
