Studying a new and evocative setting up, Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m. offers the opportunity to the public to rediscover the expressive strength of some unquestionable masterpieces by Leoncillo, such as the extraordinary sculpture "Amanti Antichi" from 1965. Exhibited in the unusual darkness of the Gallery's main room, this work recalls the typical Etruscan topos of the «Sarcophagus of the Spouses», re-elaborated by the artist using his characteristic Informal style, through which he can convey the intense inner trouble that has guided his whole art style. The show at Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m., which is also the headquarter of the Leoncillo Archive, is enriched by a selection of other important sculptures and works on paper, that are able to create a deep dialogue among each other and to depict a complete portrait of one of the most intense artists of the Twentieth century.
