The city of Todi pays homage to Curtis Bill Pepper through the exhibition ‘Journey to Sicily 1959-1961’, at Sala delle Pietre, in the Palazzo Comunale, open until 12 January 2025.
The exhibition, curated by the artist's son John Pepper and by Angelo Bucarelli, is an initiative that will offer the opportunity to reconstruct the path that led Curtis Bill Pepper and his wife Beverly Pepper, a famous sculptress, to choose the city of Todi as their home.
The exhibition will feature shots taken by the artist himself in Sicily, of which he was struck by the dramatic nature of its landscape and its still rural reality linked to ancestral traditions.
Armed with his Nikon F, he shot non-stop, taking notes. He thought of producing an ‘anti-tourist’ guide, as he himself wrote, on a real Sicily, ‘not that of the well-known tourist resorts, not that of the Greek ruins, nor that of the paved streets of the main Sicilian cities’.
He would never realise it: only a few notes and a body of photographs between negatives and prints remain. 
Daily openings will be as follows:
Wednesday and Thursday 15:30-19:30
Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10:00-12:30 and 15:00-19:30
