EDIT NAPOLI, 10-12 OCTOBER 2025

EEDIT Napoli, the fair dedicated to author and editorial design, returns from 10 to 12 October 2025 with a new journey across Naples’ cultural landscape. Azucena stages a dual curatorial project, entrusted to Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva and Cetty Grammatica. The two architects engage in a “face-to-face” installation: the Refectory, divided into two symmetrical areas, hosts two autonomous interpretations - independent design readings united by the use of furniture pieces designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, still part of Azucena’s collection today. Two independent yet complementary visions reaffirm the contemporary relevance of Caccia Dominioni’s thinking and his ability to create ever – evolving dialogues between architecture, art, and everyday life.

"TIMETABLE 2025" GIULIANO ANDREA DELL’UVA E LUCIANO ROMANO

The evolution of the table is explored in TimeTable, a video installation by architect Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva and artist Luciano Romano.

“I started from an archival image of Azucena depicting Luigi Caccia Dominioni and his wife Natalia Tosi in their first Milanese home, with the table he designed surrounded by antique Chiavari chairs and 18th-century family portraits in the background. I wanted to continue that story of conviviality within this space - the Refectory designed in 1650 by Cosimo Fanzago for the Certosa di San Martino on the Vomero hill.” Giuliano Andrea dell’Uva

“CONCERTO A DUE VOCI” CETTY GRAMMATICA

For her first participation in EDIT Napoli, Cetty Grammatica stages a Salon of Music and Reading within the Refectory of the Certosa di San Martino. The project emerges from listening to the evocative spirit of the space and exploring how the modernist purity of Azucena interacts with ancient ornamentation.
The name Azucena, like the gypsy from Verdi’s Il Trovatore, evokes the atmosphere of the opera world in the 1950s, revived at La Scala by the artistic and intellectual glamour of Luchino Visconti and Maria Callas.
