THE WORLD THAT WASN’T THERE: PRE-COLUMBIAN ART IN ROVERETO

There are events in history which are able to arouse men, obligating them to think again about their history, and the role each one plays in the world.
One of this event, maybe the most important, is the discovery of the Americas in 1492 by Christopher Columbus which reveals Il mondo che non c’era (The world that wasn’t there), inhabited by people with a thousand-year-old and mysterious culture.

Il mondo che non c’era (The world that wasn’t there) is the title of the exhibition housed in the rooms of the Alberti Poja Palace in Rovereto from October 1^st 2016 to January 6^th 2017.
An exhibition which is a journey discovering pre-Columbian civilizations who had lived for thousands of years in the lands conquered by force by the Europeans.
This show will complete the tale of these fascinating people and yet mysterious on several counts begun with the visit to the exhibition on the Maya in Verona.

PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA’S VIRGIN OF MERCY WILL ARRIVE IN MILAN

Christmas in Milan. Even this year the Municipality of Milan will give an exhibition consisting of only one masterpiece, but which needs an unlimited time to be admired, as a gift to everybody.
Last year the protagonist of the Milanese Christmas was “the Adoration of the Shepherds” by Rubens, whereas this year the protagonist will be La Madonna della Misericordia (The Virgin of Mercy) by Piero della Francesca, which will be on exhibition from December 6^th 2016 to January 8^th 2017.

It’s a real gift, not only to the Milanese people, but also to those who will arrive in Milan at Christmas time. In fact you can admire for free La Madonna della Misericordia (The Virgin of Mercy), which is one of the Italian Renaissance masterpieces, and is the first documented work by Piero della Francesca, famous for his study of proportion of forms.

Laurina Paperina From Outer Space

Saturday November 12th, 2016 , Contemporary Art, Events and Exhibitions

LAURINA PAPERINA: FROM OUTER SPACE

Laurina is an artist born in Rovereto in 1980 and belongs to the so-called “losers”, that is to say those creative young artists, who, right at the turn of the new millennium, showed their refusal to the mainstream culture, arousing their interest in alternative art forms, from skating to street art to underground music.
Fusion Art Gallery dedicates to her a solo exhibition entitled FROM OUTER SPACE, curated by Alfredo Sigolo.

The exhibition FROM OUTER SPACE falls within the off network of NEsxT Independent Art Network, and is included in COLLA, the new platform of Turin art galleries.
Laurina’s solo exhibition is the chance for you to observe the work of an artist who managed to gain fans and approval both in Italy and abroad.
