The Marvellous Flight of a Man Suspending Grief

NOTTE presents The Marvellous Flight of a Man Suspending Grief, its first editorial project, conceived not as a catalogue but as an independent work dedicated to exploring the thought and practice of Marc Chagall through the relationship between symbol, memory, and imagination. Moving beyond traditional art-historical interpretations, the publication creates a narrative and sensory experience: a collectible object defined by special materials, meticulous graphic design, and a tactile dimension that invites a slower, more contemplative form of engagement. With this inaugural title, NOTTE establishes its commitment to developing an editorial programme dedicated to original projects, in which the book becomes a space for research, dialogue, and critical production, fostering connections between contemporary art and interdisciplinary thought.

Original texts by: Vittorino Andreoli, Francesco Bonami, Dimitri Capuani, Carolina Lanfranchi, Mario Raciti.
The book also includes selected excerpts from original writings by Marc Chagall and Bella Rosenfeld Chagall.

PIERO MANZONI – TOUCH ME

02/10/2026 - 18/12/2026, MON - FRI, 10AM - 6PM, VIA BIGLI 11, MILAN

On October 2nd, NOTTE presents Piero Manzoni: Touch Me, the gallery’s autumn exhibition, completing the journey dedicated to the artist initiated with the film Piero Manzoni: Domani chi sa. Developed in collaboration with the Fondazione Piero Manzoni and curated by Rosalia Pasqualino di Marineo, the exhibition explores the radical material research at the heart of Manzoni’s practice, bringing to life, for the first time in Europe, an unrealized project conceived by the artist in 1961.

Imagined as part of Manzoni’s idea of a “total space,” the project envisioned a room entirely covered in white fur. More than sixty years later, this vision takes shape at NOTTE, transforming an unrealized intuition into an immersive experience where the boundaries between artwork, space, and viewer dissolve.

Alongside the environment, a selection of Achromes from private collections explores Manzoni’s radical approach to matter, where white becomes a condition of reduction and materials reveal their intrinsic qualities — softness, lightness, tension, and gravity.

With Touch Me, NOTTE invites visitors not simply to contemplate Manzoni’s work, but to enter it: an experience where matter becomes presence, and an idea conceived more than sixty years ago becomes reality.

MARC CHAGALL – IL VOLO MERAVIGLIOSO

15/04/2026 - 15/07/2026, MON - FRI, 10AM - 6PM, VIA BIGLI 11, MILAN

On April 15th in Via Bigli, NOTTE presents Marc Chagall. A Marvelous Flight, the gallery’s inaugural exhibition in its own space. The show marks a significant moment in the Italian art scene, as one of the first exhibitions dedicated to Chagall organized by a private gallery in the 2000s and is held under the patronage of Regione Lombardia.. The exhibition invites visitors into a suspended, dreamlike dimension where figures, lovers, and animals float across canvas and paper, transforming memory into image and image into poetry. Chagall’s work unfolds beyond chronological time, guided instead by emotion, personal history, and inner vision. Recurring themes such as love, spirituality, and memory emerge through vibrant colors and weightless compositions. Windows, a central motif in the selected works, become thresholds between inner and outer worlds — spaces where light, imagination, and transcendence meet.
With A Marvelous Flight, NOTTE offers not just an exhibition, but an experience: a journey into a deeply personal yet universal visual language, where viewers are invited to reconnect with memory, feeling, and imagination.

Red on Blue — Martino Vercesi Jazz Quartet

10/12/2025, 6:30 pm, Via Bigli 11, Milan

On December 10th at Via Bigli, NOTTE hosts Red on Blue, an evening where music becomes dialogue and the gallery acts as a cultural house. The concert follows two currents. Blue is the natural tone of jazz: measured, clear, unhurried. Red is its counterpoint: tempo rising, phrases tightening, ideas moving forward without warning. On the stage Daniele Moretto on trumpet, Martino Vercesi on guitar, Giulio Corini on double bass, and Matteo Frigerio on drums. The quartet navigates both — cool jazz sections, more driven passages, and ballads that open the room before the pulse returns. No formula, no narrative: simply the music unfolding in its own logic. The group plays as a unit: concise lines, direct exchanges, decisions made on the spot. NOTTE presents the concert not as entertainment, but as a meeting point — a place where people gather around sound, ideas, and the pleasure of listening. Red on Blue is open to everyone: a night of jazz, clarity, and presence in the spaces of NOTTE.
