"L’Heure du Chat", Fornasetti in collaboration with Tommaso Calabro
“L’Heure du Chat, a project by Barnaba Fornasetti in collaboration with Tommaso Calabro, brings into dialogue the imaginative worlds of Fornasetti, Leonor Fini (1907-1996) and Stanislao Lepri (1905-1980), between Surrealism, art and design. On view at the Fornasetti Store in Milan from 14 November to 31 December 2025, the exhibition explores the feline as a symbol of freedom, grace, and metamorphosis – a recurring presence in both Fornasetti’s aesthetic universe and in the surreal, visionary imagery of Fini and Lepri."

Flash Art, "Narrating what was already there” by Cristiano Seganfreddo
“Tommaso Calabro is not your typical gallerist. Intellectual, curious, and radically free, he chose to carve out a path that is quite romantic in its dedication to research, curatorial vision, and a genuine love for the eccentric and erudite figures of the twentieth century— often overlooked by the art system. His galleries – from Milan to Venice to New York – are not simply exhibition spaces, but stages for new historical readings, where archives meet intuition, and time is not a straight line but a shifting ocean. In this conversation, Calabro shares his method, his choices and his obsessions – and he claims his right not to follow trends.”

Milan, Palazzo Reale, "Io sono LEONOR FINI"
The exhibition Io sono LEONOR FINI, from February 26 to July 20 2025 at Palazzo Reale in Milan, homages the Italo-Argentine artist Leonor Fini (1907-1996), one of the most original and visionary figures of the 20th Century. Featuring over one hundred works – including paintings, drawings, photographs, theatrical costumes, books, and videos – the exhibition delves into her imaginative world, organized into thematic sections that underscore her eclecticism and expressive intensity. A femme fatale with a magnetic charm and a turbulent temperament, Fini is an artist who defies categorization. While independent from any movement, yet linked to Surrealism, she also exhibited with gallerist Alexandre Iolas, creating a unique language that exists between dream, myth, and enigma.
