 THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES IN THE WORLD: 5 BIRTH PLACES OF IMPORTANT PAINTERS TO SEE 

Have you ever chosen a destination to visit a city in search of works painted by only one artist?
It’s almost my golden rule, especially when I visit a place for the first time, and I know that I’ll have little time to see everything. I usually focus on an important local artist, and there are several cities that saw the birth and the growth of artists, and now house their works in very famous museums.

So, the exhibition scheduled in Brescia in order to celebrate the artistic season of the Italian 19th century painting really suits me, and maybe you’ll like it, too.

Corto circuito. Dialogo tra i secoli (Short circuit. A dialogue between the centuries): the new project of the Civic Museums in Venice

Can contemporary art dialogue with all the artistic production of previous centuries?
This is the question that the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia (Venice Civic Museums Foundation) has asked itself, and then it has decided to launch a project which is also a challenge: a series of appointments dedicated to modern and contemporary art held at the Centro Culturale Candiani in Mestre, Venice (the Candiani Cultural Centre), where some artworks belonging to the rich heritage of the city of Venice are on display.
