Raffaela Mariniello

Raffaela Mariniello was born in Naples, in 1978 where she currently lives and works.
In 1991, she began the project Bagnoli, a factory, the only historical account of the steel mill’s activities, which has been exhibited in Naples, Nates, Calais, Paris and Milan. Her "Sourvenirs d’Italie" series, exhibited at the Pignatelli Museum in 2011, focused on the transformation of historic centres of Italian cities as a result of mass tourism. In 2014, she dedicated a project to the tragic fire which raged through the Città della Scienza in her poetic, silent account entitled "Still in Life". Her works are part of public and private collections, including: the Bibliothèque National de Paris; the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris; the Banca Commerciale in Milan; the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, Turin; the Fond National d’Art Contemporain, Paris; the Museo Madre, Naples; the Naples Metro System; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Cotroneo Collection. In 2018, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Madrid organized her solo exhibit "Alla deriva del paesaggio". In 2019, she realized the "Under the Spell of Africa" project as part of the Italia Cultura Africa programme under the aegis of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation at the Donwahi Foundation in Abidjan.
