“‘The Philosophers’ Clothes’ – representing a selection of works belonging to a cycle devoted to a restatement of Raphael's ‘The School of Athens’. In this famous fresco the most important philosophers of history are proudly represented in their natural action of expressing thoughts.
This fresco, dating back to 1500-1511, and located in the Stanza della Segnatura inside the Vatican Apostolic Palaces,  has been studied thoroughly by the artist Vittoria Chierici. Fascinated by its history and by its characters – covering many centuries and a wide geographic area – which through dialogues with each other eliminate the differences of their origins, the artist explores the theme linked to a sort of arrangement and order of humanistic culture. These fascinating characters are revisited with a cover of colorful tunics which make them abstract yet expressive, alive, speaking. Abstract forms that allow ways of extreme freedom in the use of the pictorial techniques.” ( From the press release of the exhibition at Neochrome Gallery, Turin, Italy
