A Mother’s Vision: Remembering Teresa and Trifone Through Art

In Milan this February, a powerful tribute to love and loss will take center stage. “In the Beauty of art: Eternity,” opening its doors from February 22nd to 28th, honors the memory of Teresa Costanza and Trifone Ragone, two young lovers whose lives were tragically cut short a decade ago. Through the evocative brushstrokes of Carmelina Parrello, Teresa’s mother, their story comes alive in a poignant and unforgettable exhibition.

Art became Parrello’s solace and her voice after the unthinkable happened. “On February 19th,” she shares, “my daughter would have turned 40. She also designed,and Trifone did too.” Driven by a deep desire to keep their memories alive, parrello channeled her grief into her art, creating a powerful testament to their enduring spirit.

The exhibition features several heart-wrenching pieces, including a tender portrayal of Teresa as a 12-year-old girl surrounded by daisies, capturing a young innocence forever lost. Another moving piece depicts Trifone raising the bar, holding his fiancée close in a moment of shared joy, a snapshot of a love tragically interrupted.

“In the Beauty of Art: eternity” is more than just an exhibition; it’s a testament to the enduring power of love and a mother’s unwavering devotion. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable loss, beauty and hope can emerge, inspiring us to cherish each precious moment.
