Il corredo is the project by Gabriele Ermini conceived forOriolo Romano exploring themes of fiction, desire, and the construction of historical imaginaries. In the park of Palazzo Altieri, a fictitious Etruscan discovery takes shape: a site-specific intervention featuring ceramic works created by the artist and displayed in the Casina di Caccia, staging an imaginary yet plausible narrative. During the summer months, the local community will be invited to take part in ceramic workshops, shaping a new collective treasure—an imagined trousseau of contemporary artifacts destined to remain in the village as a lasting trace.

WHEN I PAINT, I MOVE LIKE A TOMB RAIDER: I EXPLORE THE SURFACE IN THE HOPE OF UNCOVERING SOMETHING PRECIOUS. I’M FASCINATED BY THE IDEA OF SEARCHING WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR — AND WHAT COULD BE MORE WONDERFUL THAN DISCOVERING A TREASURE?ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Oriolo Romano, nestled in the Tuscia region between Roma and Viterbo, stands along the ancient Via Clodia near Bracciano Lake. Founded in 1560 by Giorgio Santacroce, it is one of the rare examples of a Renaissance urban settlement designed as an “ideal city.”
At the heart of the village is Palazzo Santacroce-Altieri, a noble residence from 1578 to 1604, now part of the Polo Museale del Lazio, a network of museums and heritage institutions. Surrounded by an eight-hectare park, the palace preserves frescoes and artworks and faces the monumental Fontana delle Picche, attributed to Vignola. Nearby, the Olmate, a series of tree-lined avenues, connect Montevirginio to Oriolo Romano. Among the area’s attractions, the Mola dei Biscione, an ancient mill immersed in greenery, today serves as the center of Parco della Mola, a haven for excursions and nature walks. The ancient beech forest Faggeta Vetusta di Monte Raschio, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, represents an extraordinary natural heritage.
Oriolo also boasts significant places of worship, such as the Baroque Chiesa di San Giorgio and Chiesa di Sant’Anna, and celebrates its identity through festivals like San Giorgio, the Sagra dell’Acquacotta, the Festa della Madonna della Stella, and the Festa del Cacciatore, honoring wild boar cuisine. September is dedicated to the porcino mushroom, and during the Christmas season the village hosts a charming live nativity scene.
Irene Angenica (Catania, 1991) is an educational curator with a degree in Contemporary Art History and Art Education. She attended CAMPO at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and co-founded the collective CampoBase.
She has collaborated with various institutions, including: Artissima in Turin, MACBA - Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, and MAMbo - Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna.
From 2021 to 2025, she was responsible for educational and public activities at MACRO - Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma. Her research focuses on discursive, workshop-based, and collective practices, favoring non-hierarchical approaches, educational activities, and convivial experiences.
For Una Boccata d'Arte 2024, she curated the project of Elena Rivoltini in Bassiano, in Lazio.
