Carla Sozzani. Arte. Vita. Moda.

On Friday, November 7, Carla Sozzani shares her story in a conversation with Antonio Grulli and Maddalena Scarzella.
An evening dedicated to her vision that begins with the pages of the book Carla Sozzani. Arte. Vita. Moda. (Carla Sozzani. Art. Life. Fashion.) and continues with a guided tour of Fotosintesi (Photosynthesis) led by the curator.

 

Over the past decades, Carla Sozzani has redefined the way we look at fashion and photography, building bridges between creativity, culture, and business.
Until March 22, 2026, the CAMeC hosts Fotosintesi. Fotografie dalla collezione Carla Sozzani (Photosynthesis. Photographs from the Carla Sozzani Collection), featuring around 150 images from her extraordinary private collection.
On Friday, November 7, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., the protagonist of this universe will be at CAMeC for the presentation of the book Carla Sozzani. Arte. Vita. Moda. (Carla Sozzani. Art. Life. Fashion.) (L’Ippocampo, 2024).
In conversation with Antonio Grulli – Head of Partnerships at CAMeC – and Maddalena Scarzella, curator of the exhibition, Sozzani will offer a direct insight into her journey and the vision that has always guided her.
After the presentation, Maddalena Scarzella will lead visitors through the exhibition spaces to explore — through the works — the life and vision of Carla Sozzani.

 

A book that tells a life of visions

In Carla Sozzani. Arte. Vita. Moda. (Carla Sozzani. Art. Life. Fashion.), author Louise Baring retraces forty years of experiences and passions: from the editorial offices of Vogue Italia and Elle to the creation of the Galleria Carla Sozzani and 10 Corso Como — places that have redefined the relationship between art and everyday life.
The book intertwines images, encounters, and reflections, building the portrait of a woman who has turned beauty into a way of thinking, living, and changing the world.

Carla Sozzani: beauty as a form of thought

A key figure in contemporary visual culture, Carla Sozzani has transformed the very idea of the exhibition space: from the walls of a gallery to the body of a city, her work has always been an act of connection.
Through the Sozzani Foundation, she has built bridges between disciplines and generations, showing that art is not a closed system but a way of seeing and giving shape back to the world.
