On the occasion of The Legion of Honor exhibition dedicated to Lawrence Ferlinghetti (July 19, 2025 – March 22, 2026), our friend and former Cultural chair, Mauro Aprile Zanetti will offer a special tour .
Limited to 15 people.
This exhibition explores the artistic practice of one of San Francisco’s most beloved and significant cultural figures: Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919–2021). A poet, activist, publisher, and co-founder of City Lights Bookstore, Ferlinghetti was also an avid painter, draftsman, and printmaker. His work across mediums — often figurative with nautical motifs — frequently combines image and text to delve into themes of isolation, violence, and human resilience. With artworks drawn entirely from our works on paper collection, this exhibition showcases Ferlinghetti’s dynamic work in printmaking, including etching, lithography, and letterpress.
