Critics, curators and media on the TAPPOST project and Luigi Masecchia’s work.
What they say about him
«A genius.»
Vittorio Sgarbi — art critic and historian
«Luigi Masecchia is a highly original artist: all his works are a collage of metal caps, a recycled object that in his hands and compositions rises to the level of art. Even today he is one of very few artists using this most ordinary of tools — perhaps one of the first in the world.»
Massimo Esposito — co-curator, Capri exhibition 2025
«The pop iconography of Totò, Pino Daniele, Maradona and Marilyn Monroe resonates particularly strongly here in Capri, where the Neapolitan identity intertwines with the island’s international spirit. A context that pairs well with the language of pop art and with the aesthetic revolution of sustainability.»
Bruno Flavio — co-curator, Capri exhibition 2025
«Masecchia’s art within the TAPPOST project conveys the important message that bottle caps too can be recycled endlessly.»
Federico Fusari — Director General, RICREA
