Sfascism is a neologism coined by artist Giorgio de Cesario to describe a historical state of collapse: the collapse of the world under the weight of social disintegration, the erosion of fundamental rights, wars, and a widespread culture of cynicism and hatred. It is not merely a diagnosis of the present, but a critical stance against the dominant narrative that normalizes and justifies the demolition of the welfare state. With Sfascism, De Cesario gives the title to the third period of his artistic production. After the first period, Solitudes, dedicated to human isolation in contemporary society, and the second, From current events to fantasy, in which current events are transfigured in a visionary and symbolic key, the artist arrives at a more overtly political and revelatory phase. The work Sfascism, which inaugurates this new series, is its programmatic declaration. At the center of the composition stands a decaying, unstable, and fragmented Tower of Babel, a symbol of the failure of the great power structures and hegemonies that promised order and progress. The structure's violent red—the colour of blood, conflict, and sacrifice—stands out against a leaden, stormy background, visually evoking the roar of thunder and cannon fire. Above, a multicolored sphere represents the world with its flags and its vitality: despite the collapse of ideological giants, life continues to exist and endure. Around the tower, a helpless audience, almost like the walking dead, watches in astonishment as the prevailing narrative collapses. Emblematic of this is the presence of clay faces applied to canvas, a hallmark of De Cesario's artistic language: fragile masks that embody an alienated humanity, suspended between a loss of identity and a desire for awakening. In this sense, Sfascism is deeply connected to the Alienism movement, founded by De Cesario himself, which explores the critical condition of contemporary man, denounces the fracture between the individual and society, and seeks, through art, a possibility of reconciliation and a new consciousness. As in previous periods, De Cesario's message in Sfascism is not confined to despair. The chromatic effects and the presence of nature, which emerges despite the chaos, always introduce a tension toward hope and the rebirth of a different, finally conscious humanity.
