Faithful to the artistic vocation that has characterized the cultural life of Versilia since the times of Carrà, Dazzi and Soffici, the Hotel Acapulco hosts in its large hall, in various rooms and in other common spaces the works of interesting emerging artists, in various ways linked to the tradition of the territory.
In the 2025 season, Emanuele Giannelli's provocative post-apocalyptic sculptures, Massimiliano Luchetti's refined oil paintings, and the original design and furniture creations of Laura Fiaschi and Gabriele Pardi of the Gumdesign studio dialogue with each other.
Born in Rome in 1962, Emanuele Giannelli has long lived and worked in Versilia, where he developed his creativity in contact with the artisanal world of great contemporary sculpture.
Since the beginning of his career, the author has pursued a figurative language that places the mutant anatomy at the center of the work, combining classical suggestions with literary, cinematographic and musical echoes of a sci-fi and dystopian nature, investigating the profound social and anthropological changes triggered by scientific-technological innovation.
The author has to his credit numerous exhibitions and site-specific interventions with large-scale works, in italy and abroad.
Gabriele Pardi, a Tuscan architect born in 1966, and Laura Fiaschi, a designer and graphic designer from Carrara, opened their studio Gumdesign in Viareggio in 1999. They work in architecture, industrial design, graphics and art direction for companies and events. Their current and past clients include the names of major brands such as Fiat, Max & Co, Mercedes-Benz, Lavazza, and Swarovski Italia.
Over the years they have received numerous international awards in architecture, design, and graphic design competitions, and their projects-such as the successful “Calici Caratteriali” for Colle Vilca-are in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including the Milan Triennale, the Glass Museum in Shanghai, and the MoMA in San Francisco.
Born in Pietrasanta in 1975, Massimiliano Luchetti approached painting from a young age. In 1992 he attended the famous F. Palla art studio in Pietrasanta as a collaborator, honing his knowledge of materials (marble, clay) and drawing technique.
His painting translates into violent de-constructions of the pictorial material, which from a vaguely palpable (but present) figurative reaches the essential.
His latest works, material cosmogonies in balance between the concept and physicality of color, are increasingly linked to a conceptual deconstruction of matter.
