Photography as a tool for deep awareness and art that acts as a messenger of solidarity. This is the beating heart of the photographic exhibition “Attraverso i nostri occhi” (Through Our Eyes), a project strongly championed by internationally renowned actress Caterina Murino, which arrives at its highly anticipated third stop in Mestre. Animica Art Gallery, a photographic and digital communication studio led by Barbara Pigazzi, proudly announces its support for the initiative, uniting art, friendship, and social commitment.
A Photographic Journey by Alessandra Cossu to Save Lives
The “Attraverso i nostri occhi” exhibition is an intense visual journey that gives voice and dignity to those who cannot speak: the dogs and cats housed in shelters. The images displayed are the result of the talent and sensitivity of the photographer Alessandra Cossu, whose works capture the soul and fragility of these animals. Murino and Cossu’s goal is clear: to raise public awareness of the issue of abandonment and promote unconditional love for those she defines as the “eternal children covered in fur and love.”
The event will be held from November 14 to November 28, 2025, at the prestigious Biblioteca Civica di Mestre. Animica Art Gallery sincerely thanks the Mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro, the Municipality of Venice, and the Civic Library for this immense opportunity, a true gift to the community and the cause.
A detail of crucial importance: all photographs by Alessandra Cossu will be on sale in 3 numbered formats, and all proceeds will be entirely donated to the shelters. Furthermore, highlighting the ethical value and attention to inclusivity, the Exhibition is also open to the visually impaired, ensuring a comprehensive sensory experience.

Deep Friendship, Total Support
The involvement of Animica Art Gallery in this project is not accidental. Moving the Studio and its owner, the photographer Barbara Pigazzi, is a deep bond of friendship and esteem with Caterina Murino. Two successful professional figures, united by the common vision that art must have a positive impact on the world.
Animica Art Gallery, known for its authorial photography that aims to capture the soul and humanity, recognizes an echo of its own philosophy in this exhibition. The participation as a photographic and digital communication agency is not limited to technical support but is an act of heart that strengthens a long-standing personal and professional partnership.
Art That Becomes Solidarity: The Animica Initiative
To make a concrete and tangible contribution to the mission, Animica Art Gallery has decided to launch a solidarity initiative: a portion of the proceeds derived from the purchase of the gift voucher available on the official Animica website will be donated to support the beneficiary shelters of the “Attraverso i nostri occhi” exhibition.
Purchasing an Animica photographic experience during this period means not only gifting the excellence and emotion of an author portrait signed by Barbara Pigazzi but also actively participating in a vital chain of solidarity for the welfare of animals.
The Invitation: Participate with Your Heart
Caterina Murino eagerly awaits you, with the hope that “your heart can finally unconditionally love these eternal children.” Animica Art Gallery joins this invitation: we encourage you to visit the exhibition to be touched by the power of the gazes captured by Alessandra Cossu, and to support the cause through the purchase of the works or by taking advantage of the Animica solidarity gift voucher.
Art is also this: a noble way to take care of others.
