SAGG Napoli O FUÓCO E Ò NUÓSTO E L’APPICCIAMMO NUJE March 26 — May 16 2026 «O fuóco e ò nuósto e l’appicciammo nuje» (“The fire is ours and we lit it”), SAGG NAPOLI pieces together fragments of footage spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries into a collage: volcanic eruptions of Mount Vesuvius and the raucous celebrations of New Year’s Eve in Naples. The title, in Neapolitan dialect, frames the work as a collective declaration of ownership – both destructive and celebratory – of fire —. It suggests that the blaze is no longer nature’s alone, but has been seized and staged by the citizens themselves. Against this backdrop, the film juxtaposes the incandescent fury of magma with the artificial explosion of fireworks; the roar of eruption with the cacophony of festivity. Naples’ night sky becomes a vision of disaster and delight, where civic ritual echoes geological threat. Mount Vesuvius has always loomed over the city as both landmark and threat. Its infamous 79 A.D. eruption, which obliterated Pompeii and Herculaneum, belongs to collective memory, echoed by later eruptions across the centuries. The mountain is never fully dormant; it stands as a reminder of volatility, the possibility of catastrophe. In this uniquely powerful yet fragile context, Neapolitans have cultivated an exuberant tradition of New Year’s Eve fireworks. At midnight, private and municipal displays blur into one overwhelming pyrotechnic storm. ( Excerpt from text by Stella Bottai @stellabottai ) @sagg_napoli

The artist @sagg_napoli considers Naples so essential to her artistic practice that she incorporated the southern Italian city into her name. (She was born Sofia Alice Ginevra Gianní.) Working in a wide variety of media—from performance and video to sculpture, installation, fashion design, and sound—Napoli collapses the line between art and life that embodies what she has called “South Aesthetics.” She even considers her training as a competitive archer to be part of her artistic project. (She picked up her bow again for a performance at @dior ’s Spring/Summer 2025 presentation in September 2024.) Napoli’s latest exhibition, on view from March 26 to May 16 at @champlacombe in London, is a bit of a departure. For the first time, her own body is nowhere to be found in the work. Instead, she is presenting a new sculpture alongside a film that juxtaposes footage of volcanic eruptions of Mount Vesuvius and the raucous celebrations of New Year’s Eve in Naples. Ahead of the show, CULTURED caught up with the artist about life in her Naples studio, and why her most important work happens outside. Link in bio to read the conversation.
