Something familiar, seen anew.
Shot within Cy Twombly’s Palazzo in Bassano in Teverina, Valentino Pre-Fall 2026 by Alessandro Michele unfolds within a space where time, memory and presence intertwine.
More than a backdrop, the palazzo becomes an active surface, charged with traces of the past that continue to resonate.
Through a continuous flow of movement and perception, the narrative explores a figure no longer contained by space, but moving through it: disrupting it, setting it back in motion. Gestures hesitate, deviate and unfold, opening a threshold where identity loosens and new possibilities emerge.
