Il museo MAR di Ravenna apre una galleria permanente dedicata al fotografo di moda Paolo Roversi
The MAR museum in Ravenna, Italy, is opening a permanent gallery dedicated to fashion photographer Paolo Roversi, set to launch on May 20. The space, curated by Chiara Bardelli Nonino, will showcase Roversi's poetic and visual universe, featuring his iconic portraits of models like Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Rihanna, along with his fashion work and still lifes. The gallery is designed by scenographer Ania Martchenko with lighting by Silvestrin & Associati, and includes areas such as the Studio, the Archive, and the Room of the Muses.
This permanent installation matters because it cements Ravenna's commitment to contemporary visual arts and honors one of the most influential figures in international fashion photography. Roversi, who has maintained a lifelong connection to his birthplace despite living in Paris since 1973, will now have a dedicated space that allows visitors and scholars to explore his artistic evolution and technical mastery. The project also strengthens the cultural ties between Ravenna and the global art world, supported by the European Value Plus program.
