Art Comes Before & Lory Digital Fine at the XV Florence Biennale 2025
Art Comes Before, an online gallery devoted exclusively to contemporary photography, makes its debut at the XV Florence Biennale with Dialoghi (Dialogues) — an exhibition in collaboration with Lory Digital Fine Art (www.digital-fineart.it/), a Florentine workshop that has specialised over the years in providing fine art printing services for digital artists and serving as the technical partner of the Florence Biennale.
Participation of Art Comes Before at the Florence Biennale is dedicated to the memory of a friend — Manfredo Pinzauti —who recently passed away and would surely have shared his project, Onirica Milano, with the public with great enthusiasm.

The collaboration aims to bring photographic art into the spotlight, offering artists selected by the gallery the opportunity to grow within the art world. To realise the Dialoghi exhibition, Art Comes Before selected four of Manfredo’s works — already part of its collection — as a tribute to him. In addition, the gallery invited its photographers to develop their personal interpretations inspired by the Onirica Milano project and the theme of the XV Florence Biennale “The Sublime Essence of Light and Darkness. Concepts of Dualism and Unity in Contemporary Art and Design.”
“In this exhibition, the interplay between different artistic interpretations becomes a collective work, where the sensibilities of each photographer intertwine, giving rise to an open, fluid, and everevolving dialogue. The works present an arbitrary deconstruction of the world around us—from the human beings to nature, from urban geometries to the most intimate thoughts. Amid the frenzy of our time, each expression, though in different ways, reflect the relationship between light and darkness in the human soul, creating an intimate dialogue between reality and dream”.
