Naples adds an art stop to America's Cup week. "Orizzonti in Regata – Luigi Gentile tra mare, luce e libertà creativa" is an exhibition devoted to the relationship between the work of Luigi Gentile, the sea and the horizon, held at DNA House on 26 and 27 September 2026.
The show is curated by Violetta Gasparri, with the involvement of the Archivio Luigi Gentile. It opens the cultural programme of DNA House during the Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup Preliminary Regatta Naples.
When and where
The exhibition takes place at DNA House, Rampe di Sant'Antonio a Posillipo 90, in Naples. The vernissage is scheduled for Saturday 26 September, with the exhibition dates indicated as 26 and 27 September 2026.
The sources consulted do not specify public opening hours beyond the vernissage, whether entry is open, by invitation or by reservation, or whether the display continues after 27 September.
What is on view
The exhibition route includes oil paintings on canvas, pastels, ceramics and glass, presented with the support of the Archivio Luigi Gentile.
No complete catalogue of the works on display, and no number of works, is provided in the sources consulted.
Gentile is presented as a painter and ceramist from Gragnano, whose work is associated with Mediterranean tradition, colour, memory and experimentation.
A complement to "Napolitudine"
The exhibition is conceived as a complement to the project "Napolitudine", shifting attention from urban and identity memory toward the sea, movement and the search for the horizon.
That framing gives the title its meaning: "Orizzonti in Regata" links Gentile's horizon theme to the regatta taking place in the city during the same days.
The America's Cup context
The cultural initiative coincides with the Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup Preliminary Regatta Naples, scheduled in the Bay of Naples from 24 to 27 September 2026.
According to the official America's Cup event information, the regatta is hosted in the Bay of Naples with a free Race Village along the waterfront area.
For visitors following the races, the Gentile exhibition offers a parallel cultural programme in Posillipo on the final two days of the regatta period. Travel times and access arrangements are not detailed in the sources consulted.
