THE WORKS OF GIOVANNI CARNOVALI, KNOWN AS PICCIO, AT THE ACADEMY OF CARRARA
There are a total of 14 works by Giovanni Carnovali at the Academy of Carrara.
These paintings cover a complete period of time (from the 1920s to the 1860s), so much so that it can be said that the museum in Bergamo has a sort of “permanent monograph” on the painter, capable of narrating many aspects of his personality and stylistic research.
Carnovali’s personal and professional life is richly intertwined with Carrara and the Bergamo area, a compelling story that the master’s own works are able to tell.
Piccio, in fact, was one of the most capable and experimental painters of nineteenth-century Lombardy, and not only, who spent most of his professional life in Bergamo, including his artistic training.
