“The symbolism in Neo-Cave painting” by Andrea Benetti 
curated by Gregorio Rossi and Dario Scarfì 

In August and September 2012, an exhibition by Andrea Benetti entitled “The symbolism in Neo-Cave painting” was held in the halls of Montevergini, the Contemporary Art Gallery of Syracuse. Forty-two selected works from the period 2008 / 2012 to narrate the innovative painting of the Emilian artist. The exhibition and catalog are curated by Dario Scarfì and Gregorio Rossi. In this exhibition, Andrea Benetti rereads and gives contemporary interpretations to the symbols present in Cave painting, placing them side by side with a neo-symbology, the result of his creativity and iconographic research.
