About Us
Castello 925 is a cultural association and art gallery that promotes cre-activity—a 360-degree vision of creativity that spans disciplines and fosters collaboration. We bring together visual arts, literature, and culture through exhibitions, events, publications, and partnerships that spark the imagination and inspire new ways of thinking.
More than a traditional art gallery, Castello 925 is a place where different forms of creative expression meet, challenge one another, and leave their mark. We showcase work by artists from around the world, develop cultural projects with local and international arts organizations, and host workshops and events where new ideas and collaborations can come to life. Whether you are an art lover, artist, writer, researcher, or collector, we invite you to visit, get involved, and open your mind to new possibilities for seeing and thinking.

Meet our Founder
Long before it became a physical space, Castello 925 began as the seed of an idea in the mind of Luca Caldironi, MD, an Italian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst whose work spans clinical practice, theory, and contemporary art. Caldironi imagined a place that could be more than a traditional art gallery: a space where creative expression in many forms could flourish.
Inspired by psychoanalyst Wilfred R. Bion's concept of creativity as mental openness, Caldironi has long integrated art into his clinical practice as a way to support profound reflection. His academic research also led to an ongoing exchange with artists, curators, and art scholars around the world. These conversations helped inspire the creation of Castello 925, as well as the K-Now-L-Edge Project, a research practice exploring creativity and the connections between art and psychoanalysis.
