In 2007, for the 52° Venice Biennale, in the main exhibition curated by Robert Storr, the group showed Painting (16:9 colour HD, 16' 33", 2007), a work that documents the continued stratification of writings and cancellations on the outer walls of the San Vittore prison in Milan. Writings, images, and attempts at censorship become the linguistic elements of only one work, one large "painting" that documents, in its progress, the life of a community.

Giovanni Ghisolfi

He painted also in Palazzo Borromeo Arese at Cesano, Reatis' Palace in Lissone and in the fourth chapel of the Sacri Monti and covered the vaults of the Basilica of San Vittore in Varese.
