IMPRESSIONISM

At last, the exhibition dedicated to Impressionism and its stories has arrived in Treviso.
140 works will be on display at the Museum of Santa Caterina from October 29^th 2016 to April 17^th 2017.

It’s a large exhibition which will never bore you, because the works on show are great masterpieces.
The tour begins with an exhibition inside the exhibition. Three masterpieces painted by three artists who influenced the art of the late 19^th century with their representation of female image: “Venere che sorge dal mare” (“Venus rising from the sea”) by Titian, “The Feast of Herod” by Rubens and “A woman in bed” by Rembrandt.

From here you’ll begin an incredible journey into the history of painting which, since the 19^th century, had its point of reference in France, where artists all over the world arrived and drew their inspiration from Impressionism. Among them there were the Italian artists Giovanni Boldini o Federico Zandomeneghi, but also the American painter Edward Hopper.

Francis Bacon in Italy

AN EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO FRANCIS BACON IN ITALY

An exhibition devoted to Francis Bacon is always a challenge, because Bacon is a controversial artist, but at the same time he’s fascinating, and has a demanding public.

The new exhibition project by Kornice aims to give everybody the chance to know Francis Bacon, and a collection of little-known works. I gave you some information in advance about the exhibition dedicated to Francis Bacon in Treviso, and now, after the inauguration, I can tell you in detail the tour of the exhibition.

Rolli days

ROLLI DAYS

Rolli Days. I had never seen Genoa before, or better I passed it several years ago in order to reach the Port of Savona. But that day I was in a hurry, and I didn’t even get out the car to have a coffee.
Therefore, I thought that Genoa was a city leant on its port, a little bit grey, too, and I didn’t have any idea of what it could hide among its streets and alleys which I only glimpsed.

I visited Genoa during the Rolli Days on October 15^th and 16^th 2016, and I was amazed.

Palazzo Giacomelli: a private palace open to the world

PALAZZO GIACOMELLI: A PRIVATE PALACE OPEN TO THE WORLD

Palazzo Giacomelli. Palazzo Dolfin Giacomelli, also known as Palazzo Giacomelli, is located in Treviso, and is not a museum, but you should visit it as if it was, because the palace is what each museum should be: a place open to the city and its territory, the perfect place where ideas can emerge and where people can meet.

I visited this palace on the occasion of the inauguration of the exhibition “De Pictura”, and, although I passed it several times, I couldn’t imagine the building housed beautiful frescoes and an 18th-century wooden walkway.
In addition, from Palazzo Giacomelli you can enjoy a spectacular view of the river bend of the River Sile which flows just in front of the building.
I didn’t put Palazzo Giacomelli on the list of what to see in Treviso, but now I believe it is an important leg.
