Several important exhibitions
open or are already running in Italy this weekend, ranging from
the Pre-Columbian civilisations to Guido Reni and Pablo
Echaurren.
Don't miss the exhibition Capucci Dionisiaco. Disegni per il
teatro at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, featuring 72 designs
for male costumes produced by fashion designer Roberto Capucci
from the 1990s onwards.
The Aztec, Maya and Inca civilisations are at the centre of
the exhibition 'Il Mondo che non c'era. L'arte precolombiana
nella Collezione Ligabue' opening on January 12 at Palazzo
Loredan in Venice. In total 150 works reconstruct South America
and Mesoamerica before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and
the Conquistadores, describing the revolutionary scope of the
meeting between the Old and the New worlds.
On January 13 the exhibition devoted to Guido Reni and his
1611 masterpiece 'Massacre of the Innocents' opens at the
regional archaeological museum in Aosta. The show also includes
a Madonna's Head attributed to Raffaello from the Gallerie
Estensi in Modena.
This weekend is the last opportunity to see 'Soft Wall' by
Pablo Echaurren in Catania's Palazzo Platamone, a presentation
of 150 works created by the Roman artist from the 1980s onwards,
when metropolitan graffiti came to the fore following the fall
of the Berlin Wall.
It is also the last call for the exhibition 'A Life: Lawrence
Ferlinghetti. Beat Generation, ribellione, poesia' in Brescia,
centred on the American poet, painter, publisher and cultural
agitator of Brescian origins. The show sheds light on the years
of the Beat generation and its influence in Italy, with
documents, books, printed material, photographs and video
recordings reconstructing its atmosphere.
