BACON IN TREVISO: THE STORY BEHIND THE EXHIBITION

Bacon in Treviso. There are artists I love deeply, and I hurry to visit the exhibitions dedicated to them, no matter where the next exhibition will be arranged.
Instead, there are artists I always try to avoid, but at the same time they are a magnet for me, and I think of them and think them over, and the more I think of them the more they unsettle me, and I can’t help thinking about that.

Francis Bacon is the artist who more than others is capable of unsettling me (I’ve already talked about the exhibition dedicated to Bacon that will take place in Treviso from October 15^th 2016 to May 1^st 2017).
It will be the chance for me to deal with his works once and for all, and to lose myself in his visions.
This exhibition has aroused my curiosity and I can hardly wait for this autumn. In this post I’ll explain you why.

LEONARDO DA VINCI AND THE CONTEMPORARIES

Leonardo da Vinci is probably the most famous artist in the world, and his works are an integral part of the collective consciousness, and sometimes are more famous than the artist himself.
For a contemporary artist is almost inevitable measuring himself against Leonardo da Vinci, and the results could be surprising.

An exhibition organized at the Pisacane Arte gallery in Milan will feature 11 artists who will reinterpret Leonardo’s works and the heritage of the Renaissance genius through an interactive exhibition set-up.

WHAT TO SEE IN MONZA

What to see in Monza. At first sight, Monza looks a royal city. Everything is elegant and refined along its street and in its corners, and I believe that it was no coincidence that Empress Theodelinda wanted Monza to be the capital of the Longobard Empire.

In the 7^th century Monza was the most important administrative and economic centre of Lombardy.
