Guglielmo Maggini | Senses of Art

 

Starting May 13, the entrance on Piazza di San Marcello will host Titano Mio (#2), a new site-specific work by Guglielmo Maggini created for the spaces of Six Senses Rome.

 

Rome, May 2026 – In the heart of Rome’s historic center, Six Senses Rome expands its identity with a new exhibition program dedicated to contemporary art. Titled Senses of Art, the initiative is curated by Valentina Ciarallo and features large-scale installations presented every six months in the hotel lobby, conceived to engage in dialogue with the architecture and philosophy of the space.

 

The inaugural edition features Rome-born artist Guglielmo Maggini (b. 1992) with the work Titano Mio (#2). From May 13, the new sculptural group inhabits the entrance on Piazza di San Marcello: an intervention that integrates seamlessly with the hotel’s spaces while strengthening its aesthetic identity.

 

The evolving Titani series originated during a residency with the historic Fumanti family of artisans in Gubbio, where Maggini spent a month conducting research. Titano Mio (#2) takes shape from discarded plaster molds, recovered and reinterpreted through glazed ceramic and resin in a process that bridges artisanal tradition and contemporary language. Its elements — umbrella stands, grotesque masks, fireplace ornaments, and rusticated architectural forms — belong to a ceramic heritage that has now disappeared, reimagined in a new visual narrative through the blue tones of traditional majolica. “The title is connected to the cosmogony of the Titans, ancient fathers imprisoned in Tartarus, beneath the earth. Bringing silent forms back to light: this was the intention,” explains Maggini. Through this work, the artist creates a tension between different temporal dimensions, both materially and formally. On one side emerges the industrial and contemporary time of resin; on the other, the ancient and stratified time of hand-painted majolica ceramics.
