The exhibition presents a series of 18 works on paper created between 2015 and 2017 under the title Parigi, Maggio, 1968 / Torino, Maggio, 1973, via Bligny. For this series of works, Leonardo, who has always experimented with the interaction between painting and photography, used images of protests that took place in Paris in May of 1968.

The cycle pays homage to "May 68," the apex of the student and workers' movements that led one of the largest anti-Establishment protests in France's history. "The work is entitled: Parigi, Maggio,1968 / Torino, Maggio,1973, via Bligny. I was born on July 30, 1973, in Torino in Via Bligny, so in May of that year I was in my mother's womb. I'm interested in the parallelism between historical-political time and personal, private time. I existed in the womb, but I was unaware of the historical time, of what was happening around me in Torino – on March 29th there was the occupation of the FIAT plant, and on December 10th 1973 the Red Brigades kidnapped cavaliere Ettore Amerio, head of FIAT's personnel department. The title is evocative of the atmosphere of that decade."

The exhibition also includes a series of diptychs entitled Atlante in attesa della rivoluzione (Atlas awaiting the revolution) (2015). These works on paper - presented in 2016 at the Ex Fabbrica Lucchese as part of the exhibition La Torre di Babele (The Tower of Babel) curated by Pietro Gaglianò, and later at the Museo Pecci in Prato in the exhibition La fine del mondo (The end of the world) - depict a male figure conceived as a mythological structure, "a Telamon holding human destiny in his hands, Atlas, his head bent under the weight, awaiting a possible new albeit utopian revolution."
