Romolo Del Deo

"THE IMMORTAL WINGS" BY ROMOLO DEL DEO


The curatorial concept behind this exhibition of Romolo Del Deo at Il Bottaccio is to explore the main body of his work that bestows wings in various unconventional ways such as to mythological figures that don’t usually get depicted as winged, like Daphne, in the “Tree of Life Which Is Ours;” to ideas and invented mythological figures like “Sovra;” in fantastic reality where wings aren’t normally depicted, such as sprouting from feet and faces, like in “Mercurio;” or to mortals who assumed wings like “Daedalus.” Frequently the artist makes it apparent that the wings are an assumed identity or a transformed identity.

The idea is that wings can impart to figures, powers, even though they are not part of the being’s natural story.  We see wings and immediately assume divine powers and properties to those who are be-winged. Romolo believes that culturally, we often associate the ascertainment of metaphorical “wings” as affirmation of great qualities. We live in time when humanity often fails to inspire through mendacity and mediocrity, but rather than focus on our shortcomings, Romolo sees us through the transformation of humanity and human aspiration that inspires.

Accessibility Information

Together with our selected providers, we are committed to ensuring that our services are accessible to people with disabilities. We devote significant resources to ensure that our website and room booking pages are easier to use and more accessible for individuals with disabilities, based on the strong belief that everyone has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort, and independence.

Along with our partners, we continuously strive to improve the accessibility of our website and the pages for booking rooms and/or purchasing additional products and services related to the stay. We firmly believe it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible, and unhindered use, even for those of us with disabilities.

In our ongoing efforts to improve and consistently address accessibility issues, we regularly scan all web pages using accessibility scanners provided by third-party commercial partners to identify and fix any potential accessibility barriers on our site. Despite our efforts to make all our web pages and content fully accessible, some content may not yet have been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be due to not having yet found or implemented the most appropriate technological solution.

Compliance Status

This website and the room booking pages are partially compliant with the technical standard for websites and mobile applications UNI CEI EN 301549, and with the “AA” accessibility level required by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
In particular, the compliance level of this website is constantly monitored through the tools provided by:

  • Image text alternatives: Some images do not have meaningful text alternatives for users.
  • Reading order: Due to the modular structure of some pages, the reading order of elements may not match their visual order.
  • Focus contrast: In some cases, when elements receive focus, there may be insufficient contrast between text color and background.
  • Keyboard operability: Some components cannot be operated using only a keyboard.
  • Animated content: Some pages contain animated content that cannot be paused or hidden.
