About this giro
From January to May 2026, Milan hosts Robert Mapplethorpe—the Forms of Desire, a powerful exhibition presented in the refined rooms of Palazzo Reale. An exceptional selection of iconic works traces the career of one of the most provocative and sophisticated photographers of the 20th century, whose images continue to challenge conventions and redefine beauty.
Through a language marked by formal perfection and classical harmony, Mapplethorpe’s photographs explore the human body, sensuality, identity, and desire with striking intensity. His images — poised between elegance and transgression — transform photography into something sculptural, timeless, and deeply magnetic.
This guided visit offers a thoughtful and immersive way to experience the exhibition, reading Mapplethorpe’s work as a dialogue between body and form, light and shadow, provocation and beauty. A compelling encounter with an artist whose vision remains as powerful today as ever.
