Paradise of Exiles: Early Photography in Italy
This exhibition focuses on Italy's importance as a center of exchange and experimentation during the first three decades of photography's history from 1839, the year of its invention, to 1871, the year Italy became a unified nation. Paradise of Exiles highlights the little-known contribution of Italian photographers to the development of the new medium through some 35 photographs and albums drawn from The Met collection, along with 11 loans, including rare daguerreotypes and photographs related to the Risorgimento, the period of modern Italian unification.

Exhibition: Breaking Walls an emigrant/immigrant journey through Southern Italy: Paintings and Ceramics by William Papaleo
"Over twenty years ago, William Papaleo, a third generation U.S. American with ancestors from Italy, moved to Naples to practice the art he had learned in the U.S. Papaleo is different from most Italian American artists who use Italy to set up a sense of the past and reconnect to it through travel. Their art, more oſten than not focuses on the family and their own reactions to retiring to the home of their ancestors. What you find in Papaleo's art is something new, something all other Italian Americans have not dealt with, and that is the role of the immigrant in today's Italy. It is through art like this work, that we can reach beyond the real, and sometime we even achieve the impossible." --from Distinguished Professor Fred Gardaphe's exhibition catalogue essay.
