POESIA - MARCELLO MALOBERTI X ASPESI


On the occasion of the exhibition POESIA by Marcello Maloberti, held from November 7, 2025, to February 6, 2026 in the Renaissance spaces of the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia in Rome, ASPESI reaffirms its commitment to the promotion of art by becoming a partner of the project.

A natural bond links ASPESI and the visual and textual universe of Maloberti: both driven by a sensibility that combines everyday gesture, language, form, and introspection. The word POESIA, at the center of the luminous installation conceived by the artist for the exhibition, also becomes the core of a limited-edition capsule signed by ASPESI and Maloberti.

For ASPESI, POESIA is much more than a title: it is a shared code, an essential language, a silent presence that runs through every project of the brand. In its garments, as in its images and artistic collaborations, ASPESI continues to explore new territories of meaning, where lifestyle and culture converse with coherence.

MARCELLO MALOBERTI


Marcello Maloberti is a visual artist based in Milan. His research draws inspiration from aspects of the most marginal and minimal urban realities, with particular attention to the formlessness and precariousness of lived experience.

His observation goes beyond the immediacy of the everyday dimension, adopting a neo-realist gaze that is both disorienting and dreamlike, and combining it with an archaeological approach to art history.

His performances and large-scale sound and light installations—of strong theatrical impact—are created in both private and public spaces, always favoring interaction with the audience. These interventions act as condensed narratives: they are atmospheres to be lived and experienced, emotional temperatures to be crossed. The performing body is that of the community itself, capable of generating a dialogue between the performance and its spectators.
The T-shirt and the iconic BB52 nylon shopper, featuring the word POESIA as a visual mantra in the artist’s original handwriting, invite us to wear poetic thought — to bring it into everyday life, to make it visible and tangible.

T-shirt Poesia

Perfect synthesis of art and everyday life, the short-sleeved crew-neck T-shirt is born from the collaboration between Aspesi and Maloberti. Made of pure cotton jersey, it stands out for the front print “POESIA”, a distinctive sign of the artist’s visionary universe. The Aspesi flag label on the side completes an essential yet meaningful piece, where the minimalism of design meets the evocative power of artistic language.

BB52

Perfect synthesis of functionality and artistic vision, the tote bag is born from the collaboration between Aspesi and Maloberti. Made of technical taffeta, it stands out for its double print: ASPESI on the front and POESIA on the back, expressing the dialogue between essentiality and creative language. The two front pockets enhance its practicality, while the Aspesi flag label on the side completes an accessory that combines the purity of design with the conceptual strength of art.
