On June 5th at 7 pm at Alessandra Bonomo Gallery opens the exhibition “Ab Olympo” of Elger Esser. In this exhibition, Elger Esser presents a series of works inspiredby the garden of Ninfa, situated near Latina south of Rome. In 2013, returning to the area of his childhood, the artist has spent some day any month to photograph this extraordinary garden, that since the Renaissance attracted painters like Giorgio Vasari as well as writers like Truman Capote and Virginia Woolf, Gabriele d’Annunzio e Boris Pasternak. The novel titled “The Gardens of Finzi-Contini” by Giorgio Bassani was also inspired by Ninfa, which is located along the ground of the Lepian Mountains.
