SKULTOCITY: Milan embraces Stefano Bressani’s three-dimensional vision

Milan, the capital of Italian cultural avant-garde, opens its doors to a new stage in the creative journey of Stefano Bressani, international artist and creator of the renowned Sculture Vestite. For the first time in the Lombard capital, at Libreria Bocca in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the graphic side of SKULTOCITY is presented — a project born in 2019 that has become a symbol of an artistic vision uniting art, fashion, and architecture.

A project born from a symbolic city

The idea took shape in a special year: 2019, when Matera was the European Capital of Culture. It was there that Bressani was awarded the title of Enlightened Man, and his work entered the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, marking the international debut of SKULTOCITY.

Milan, graphics, and the new skin of art

Today, SKULTOCITY arrives at the historic Libreria Bocca in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan’s cultural heart.

In this space, rich with history and contemporary vision, Bressani presents the graphic version of the project: less material, but equally intense and penetrating. His boards depict an ideal city, suspended between dream and geometry, where graphics are not a derivative, but a new language capable of expanding the concept of Sculture Vestite.

Paper as skin: architectures of the soul

In SKULTOCITY, paper becomes a thin, porous skin. Each graphic work invites viewers into a landscape of the soul, where forms and colors create a symbolic and dreamlike map.

A recurring moon appears throughout the works: not to illuminate, but to open space-time gateways, emotional portals to traverse with both gaze and heart.

A dialogue between art, culture, and the future

The event is part of Il Salotto di Bocca in Galleria, Giorgio Lodetti’s cultural project that transformed the bookstore into a platform for exchange and cross-pollination across generations and languages.

The meeting between Lodetti and Bressani, moderated by Carlo Motta (Editorial Director of CAM – Catalog of Modern Art), became a living example of how art can still inspire dialogue, reflection, and renewal today.

An evolving language

The pandemic has redefined our relationship with space, boundaries, and matter. SKULTOCITY responds with a vision that reconnects identity, moving from fabric to line, from volume to surface. The graphic boards are now officially part of CAM, confirming their importance in the contemporary art scene.

An invitation to imagine

Milan is not only the skyline reflected in skyscrapers: it is also a visionary gaze, a capacity to transform matter into poetry. In this context, SKULTOCITY is not merely an artistic project, but a cultural proposal to read the present and imagine new cities, real or interior.
