Matteo Piacenti (Viterbo, 2001) is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture,
painting, photography, performance, and video. His passion for photography began at the
age of thirteen through his friendship with a group of local amateur photographers.
Much of his practice focuses on creating images that highlight essential moments
captured in gestures, events, and gazes, revealing the human being and the many
expressions of their actions with profound spontaneity.
His first solo exhibition, Primi Impatti (2015) in Nepi, marked the beginning of a series of
shows that have since taken his work to venues such as The Royal Photographic Society in
Bristol, WeGil in Rome, the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Rome, the Museo delle Culture in
Lugano, Teatro India in Rome, and The Crypt Gallery in London.
In 2021, he was selected as a leading figure of the new generation of photographers within
the Istituto Luce Historical Archive. That same year, he published RiMEMBRA, his first
photographic book.
In 2022, he created an eight-hour performance in Bologna involving one hundred nude
participants; from this experience emerged the exhibition Nel Giardino dei Corpi
Svelati (2023) and the book of the same name (2024). The project was featured in the
episode Le monde est à nu! – Italie, broadcast in Canada by TV5.
In November 2025, he founded M.A.P., an exhibition center and artist residency located in
the main square of Nepi (VT). For its opening, he presented the exhibition Matteo Piacenti
and the Preti Brothers, organized in collaboration with the Jubilee 2025 and the Dicastery
for Evangelization, establishing a dialogue between his photographic research and the
17th-century painting of Mattia and Gregorio Preti.
In 2026, he took part for the first time in the 49th edition of Arte Fiera Bologna, in
collaboration with Galleria d’Arte Spazio Nuovo, marking his official debut at an art fair
and presenting his work to the national public for the first time.
