Stefano Chiassai at the Complesso di Sant’Agostino, Pietrasanta.
Ricciarini is proud to have supported Incantamento, Stefano Chiassai’s solo exhibition at the Complesso di Sant’Agostino in Pietrasanta: a narrative of over one hundred works in which jacquard tapestries, sculptures, drawings and installations transform the church and cloister into a precise sensorial landscape. Not a frame, but a living organism.
Here Chiassai’s archive opens like a public diary: monumental weaves, “aliens” and totems, design objects that shift scale, a sculptural presence outdoors that extends the exhibition into the square. Everything follows a coherent direction, curated by Gianluca Ranzi, which arranges the signs rather than decorating them. It’s an invitation to look closely: like a hand that reads a surface, an eye searching for the exact point where light stops reflecting and starts telling.
This is what matters to us: supporting projects where material and imagination meet in a verifiable way. Incantamento works on duration and memory: the tapestry as a page that endures, bronze as an anchor, drawing as a map. It’s a grammar of forms that speaks the language of the present without consuming it. It is not a show “about” fashion—and precisely for that reason, it speaks powerfully to fashion as well.
Pietrasanta plays its part: the church, the cloister and the small square by the bell tower multiply the planes of reading and hold intimacy and monumentality together. Here art doesn’t chase the coup de théâtre. That’s why we chose to be there: we believe in a culture that restores measure to the gaze, with precision and without rhetoric.
The exhibition runs until 8 February 2026. It’s worth stepping inside: like textiles, the works change with the light—and with the viewer’s mood.
