THE POETRY AND ART OF GIULIO MARCHETTI

Giulio Marchetti is an artist but also a poet, a multifaceted personality who uses poetry and digital art to tell the contradictions and paradoxes of the world we live in.
His works are provocative, ironic and lead us to reflect on our way of life.

I interviewed Giulio Marchetti to get to know him better, to understand how his works are created and to discover his relationship with words, poetry and the new forms of digital communication.

HISTORY OF THE FARNESE THEATRE AND SOME CURIOSITIES

Located on the first floor of the Palazzo della Pilotta, the story of the Farnese Theatre begins in 1618 when its construction began.
Built in a very short time, in a space that was originally a hall used for various events and for the court’s knightly exercises, it was constructed using light materials such as painted wood and stucco.

In this post I will tell you about its history and some interesting facts.

THE STORY OF MONTE VERITÀ AND THE RETURN TO NATURE

The story of Monte Verità began in the early 20th century. In just a few decades, it became a destination for artists and intellectuals who were seeking a spiritual and creative refuge and who found, among the woods and hills overlooking Lake Maggiore, a place to imagine and create a new world based on today’s themes such as the ecology of living and the ecology of the soul.

The history of Monte Verità is therefore a pioneering story in which some of the most important personalities of the 20th century found a direct and genuine contact with nature, reflecting on the need for man to build a lifestyle in harmony with the planet.
