The exhibition exhibits for the first time the original paintings of the artist's book Weil. Letters produced by Frittelli arte contemporanea in 2009.
Lucia Marcucci, inspired by the figure of philosopher Simone Weil and her tragedy entitled Venise sauvée, created 34 works + 1 in mixed media, which have an esoteric and evocative meaning of Weil's imaginary and mystical world: her sacrifice for the redemption of humanity, the number of years she lived. The 34 is also symbolic of Durerian melancholy, the Saturnian brooding over ultimate destiny.
The paintings contain phrases from Weil's writings and are traced with a fluid but also uncertain writing, as if the great philosopher tremblingly suffered her illness like Christ on the slopes of a most painful Golgotha.

It is a pictorial-calligraphic world that Marcucci already explores in her canvases of the 1990s, which complete the exhibition and also allow for a better framing and understanding from a formal point of view of the works inspired by Simone Weil's tragedy.
These are large paintings that respond - in the words of Gillo Dorfles - to “a precise desire to give life to a sort of imaginative ‘vision of the world’ where a certain expressionist vein comes to replace the barriers of earlier conceptualism.”
