Rome - The Colosseum - from March 27th 2009 till January 10th 2010

The city of Ancient Rome, the imperial one, still exists today under the eyes of all visitors. Very often from the underground of the city the ancient magnificence of the Roman Empire reappears with evident traces of the great power and fabulous prosperity of the lords who ruled it.

Vespasianus was the founder of the Gens Flavia and a man of a great importance during the years of his empire (69–79 AD). He was considerably open minded in relation to social policies: for example in terms of town planning, he returned to roman citizens some public urban areas, dispossessed during the reign of Nero. So, Vespasianus is to be considered as the promoter of the economic and social restoration of the whole empire which under his reign experienced a proverbial period of serenity. As a consequence of that, he was one of the most loved emperor of the roman history.

The exhibition, staged inside the Colosseum, is divided in six parts and takes also place in other areas of the eternal city including some monuments generally closed to public: the Curia, in the Foro Romano, where the main subject of the exhibition is the “imperial cult”; the Criptoportico neroniano, on the Palatino Hill, where remains of the imperial palace are displayed.

Rome - Victorian Complex - from March 6th to June 28th - extended to July 26th

Due to its great success, the duration of the exhibition has been extended till July 26th.

After more than sixty years from the last exhibition dedicated to Giotto di Bondone, best known with the name of Giotto,  Italy is now paying a long due tribute to the character who marked the passage between classic and modern art.

The exhibition displays 150 works of art, out of which twenty have been signed by the master, while the others belong to the so called “giotteschi” and to all other artists who have  learnt the art of painting following his lesson.

The Victorian Complex of the city of Rome, from March the 6th to June the 28th, houses an impressive exhibition consecrated to Giotto, the most symbolic artist of the entire Middle Ages. The show aims at tracing Giotto’s figurative path through critical modern tools, sketching out in the meantime the cultural characteristics from which it developed.

The purpose of the exhibition is to show the Italian artistic situation between the last ten years of the XIII century and the first half of the XIV century by following the route of Giotto’s travels all over the Italian Peninsula and analyzing his innovative figurative solutions.

The innovation of the exhibition consists in the will to document with several high quality works of art the crucial point of the XIV century art, including a great part of the Italian territory that has been artistically influenced by the Giotto’s stylistic school.

Giotto inspired the artists of his times and those of the following generations with his stylistic ideas about function and nature of figurative arts, outlining new routes whose effects will be the basis of the Renaissance Great Masters’ works: three-dimensional representation of the space, naturalism of the imagine and human figure, introduction of an emotional dimension of painting.

Florence – Palazzo Strozzi – from March 13 to August 30, 2009

Galileo Galilei, born in 1564 in Pisa, is universally recognized as one of the main representatives of the Italian Genius. He symbolized the Italian creativity, not only on the artistic fields, but also in the sciences and technology.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His contribution and his support in favor of heliocentrism has changed the modern view of the world.

Man has speculated on the shape and structure of the universe since the dawn of history. In 1609 Galileo Galilei, using the revolutionary telescope he invented, would be able to demonstrate the earth is rotating around the sun. (more…)

The great attraction to all things Italian has shown a significant growth trend in recent years. What lies behind the phenomenon?

Ever since the release of “La Dolce Vita” by the inimitable Federico Fellini, it seems that Italy and the Italian lifestyle have been synonymous with style and pleasure. That image has been forged by the glamorous fashion of prestigious designers, luxurious sports cars equipped with high-end amenities, magnificent jewelry—everything, of course, signed and tagged “Made in Italy.”

“I DELLA ROBBIA – Dialogo tra le Arti nel Rinascimento”

Arezzo – February 21-June 7, 2009

Della Robbia was the family name of an uncle (Luca) and his nephew (Andrea) who were Italian sculptors of the early Renaissance. They are worldwide famous for their work in terra cotta, a type of hard, durable earthenware. Della Robbia covered their terra cottas with glazes in white and brilliant colors. These terra cottas were more resistant and less expensive than marble, and the glazed colors more durable than paint. The secrets of this beautiful technique are still under study by experts from all over the world.

The exhibition, opening on 21st February 2009 in Arezzo, and dedicated to this famous family of artists, will be the opportunity to retrace plots, relationships, contests and, above all, to underline the close dialogue between all the arts which was the base of the Renaissance. Next to the extraordinary works by Della Robbia’s family, the visitor will be able to see the works created by other artists of this period, with whom they compared themselves in a profitable relationship ‘of giving and receiving’: Donatello, Pollaiolo, Pisanello, Filippo Lippi, Ghirlandaio, Perugino, etc.
