Pizziolo, M & Ravasio, R 2024, Marco Carnà. Uova di gallo 1961-1968, enhanced Focus, EdiXion, Milan.

Uova di gallo (Rooster’s Eggs), is the title of a cycle of paintings that Marco Carnà (1929-2021) created in 1964. Starting from this title, which is in itself a declaration of anomaly, the exhibition held in autumn 2024 in Vimercate at MUST – Museo del Territorio, offers the opportunity for a journey through some fifty works that develop coherently, yet in limited edition, an investigation into the rhythm of the sign, into the adventure of geometries.
Impossible eggs that will never hatch, yet precious, self-referential and charged with potential. Will the real Marco Carnà arrive later or is he already here?

Pizziolo, M 2024, Bahar Heidarzade. Le mie pietre sono aquiloni, enhanced Challenge, EdiXion, Milan.

The majestic setting of the Scaligero Castle in Malcesine, a medieval village overlooking the shores of Lake Garda, welcomed in 2024 the exhibition Le mie pietre sono aquiloni, a series of installations by Iranian artist Bahar Heidarzade (Tehran, 1981).
The exhibition, curated by Marina Pizziolo and Romano Ravasio, aims to stimulate reflection on the dramatically current theme of violence against women. Not to mourn yesterday’s victims, but to save tomorrow’s victims, with the extraordinary power of sharing.

Pizziolo, M 2023, Memorie dal futuro. Katja Loher e Dario Tironi, enhanced Challenge, EdiXion, Milan.

The evocative setting of the Scaligero Castle in Malcesine, a fascinating medieval village on Lake Garda, welcomes the sculptures and installations of Katja Loher and Dario Tironi, united by research oriented towards environmental themes. The exhibition was conceived and curated by Marina Pizziolo. This exhibition project dialogues with other environmental research present in the EdiXion catalogue, confirming the publisher’s commitment to themes of sustainability and artistic innovation.

Pizziolo, M & Ravasio, R 2026, More hills to climb. Trekking with Mandela, enhanced Challenge, EdiXion, Dubai.

This book captures the spirit of a journey in which every step in the mountains echoes the moral legacy of Nelson Mandela. With each ascent we document not only our climb, but also the collective will to lift up the most vulnerable. From the Dolomites to Kilimanjaro, up to Shishapangma, in Tibet, these journeys are a tribute to courage, unity and the unshakeable dream of a better world. The peaks we conquer together become symbols of hope and change, reminding us that the path towards justice and equality is to be travelled together, hand in hand.

Pizziolo, M & Ravasio, R 2026, Sustainable Public Art for Sustainable Cities, enhanced Challenge, EdiXion, Dubai.

In a world that too often speaks of sustainability only in terms of solar panels and recycling, this book proposes a conceptual revolution. The sustainability of public art is not only a technical matter, but an ethical dimension that touches the very heart of artistic creation. Every work of public art is – even before being visible – a perceptual and ethical threshold that questions our relationship with the environment, the community, the future. From design to disposal, every choice becomes an act of responsibility towards the generations to come.

Le ragazze e i ragazzi di Facciavista 2024 To be continued, La luce è un buio chiaro?, enhanced Challenge, EdiXion, Milan.

Facciavista is a social inclusion project. La luce è un buio chiaro? (Is light a clear darkness?) is a journey through images created by girls and boys with autism spectrum disorder. A journey inspired by the stained glass windows of the Duomo in Monza, created by Marco Carnà in 2006. The book explores the challenges and hopes of these young people from a unique perspective, that of their introspective journey. A book in progress, because it is not the destination of the journey that attracts us, but the road to travel together.
