The exhibition contains a selection of works present in the collection of Carmen Meo Fiorot, made by children. Drawings, gouaches, graffiti, collages, ceramics, mosaics and embroidery bear witness to the great creativity and capacity for transforming reality, free from any kind of conditioning, typical of children’s communication.

“An attentive look at these works will surely help to recover the capacity for seeing things in the same way as a child, from different viewpoints, without the rational restraints of adults, for carrying out that same process with the mind liberated with which great artists […] have been able to evoke worlds of wonder and amazement”. Carmen Meo Fiorot
