ITSLIQUID Group is proud to announce the 18th edition of ROME INTERNATIONAL ART
FAIR 2026, taking place from July 08 to July 19, 2026, at ITSLIQUID Art Space – Rome,
located in the historic district of Trastevere. Hosted in a remarkable 15th-century palace,
the exhibition brings together contemporary artistic languages from around the world,
creating a dynamic platform where artistic research encounters the timeless cultural
heritage of the Eternal City.
Exploring the relationship between body and space, ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR
2026 reflects on the ongoing hybridization between identities and cultural, physical, social,
and urban contexts in contemporary society. Through its two curatorial sections, MIXING
IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES, the exhibition invites visitors to investigate
perception, memory, transformation, and the evolving interaction between individuals and
the environments they inhabit.
MIXING IDENTITIES analyses the hidden dimensions of identity through an immersive
journey into the labyrinths of consciousness. At the same time, FUTURE LANDSCAPES
explores the concept of boundaries – between body, mind, and spirit; between individuals
and the city; and between space and ground – transforming everyday surfaces into fluid
territories of open and evolving ideas. Within this framework, the selected artists offer
unique perspectives on contemporary existence through deeply personal visual narratives.
Presented as a compelling solo exhibition, Giovanni Tozzetti’s “LONG WALK FROM
AUSTRALIA TO ROMA – E ‘ndo so nato, vissuto, cresciuto e pasciuto” masterfully opens a
vibrant dialogue between individual narrative and collective experience. The project
unfolds as a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey, bridging vast geographical
distances with intimate roots to explore how private memories intersect with shared
cultural identities. Through this fluid interaction, the exhibition invites the audience to
reflect on the universal themes of migration, home, and the continuous evolution of self.
Rooted in a practice that explores the relationship between painting and photography,
Tozzetti transforms observed reality into a refined painterly language, preserving the
immediacy of the original image while emphasizing its symbolic and communicative power.
Gestures, symbols, and shared spaces become communication vehicles, revealing how
personal narratives are continuously negotiated within broader cultural and urban contexts.
