TURIN - From the human and professional relationship that linked Robert Capa to Gerda Taro, up to Giacomo Puccini's passion for photography, and then again the extraordinary finds from San Casciano dei Bagni: these are some of the main exhibitions of this weekend.
TURIN - A Camera - Italian Center for Photography from 14 February to 2 June the exhibition "Robert Capa and Gerda Taro: photography, love, war", curated by Walter Guadagnini and Monica Poggi.
The journey winds through 120 photographs to tell one of the crucial moments in the history of 20th century photography, the professional and emotional relationship between Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, which was tragically interrupted with the photographer's death in Spain in 1937.
NAPLES - "Gli dei return. The bronzes of San Casciano dei Bagni" is scheduled in Mann from 15 February to 30 June.
Curated by Massimo Osanna and Jacopo Tabolli, the exhibition offers the opportunity to admire extraordinarily preserved finds, because they were preserved in hot water: these are bronze statues and figurines, votive offerings and thousands of coins found in the Etruscan and Roman thermal sanctuary of the Bagno Grande of San Casciano dei Bagni.
LUCCA - On the occasion of the centenary of the death of Giacomo Puccini, from 16 February to 1 April in the Fresco Hall of the San Micheletto Complex the Ragghianti Foundation presents "What eye in the world. Puccini photographer".
Curated by Gabriella Biagi Ravenni, Paolo Bolpagni and Diana Toccafondi, the exhibition focuses on one of the composer's unpublished passions, photography, through a selection of shots taken by Puccini mostly with the aristotype technique (these are images mainly panoramic, in a format due to the camera used, a rare Kodak model that will be on display).
MILAN - The ink drawings on paper "to understand things better" and the sculptures to tell how the accumulation of materials (from stones to stones, from wood to crystals) and experiences can generate poetic structures, amulets against the fatality of life .
Mario Trimarchi's exhibition entitled "Barricades" opens on February 14th at the Antonia Jannone Architettura gallery in Milan and runs until April 6th.
BOLOGNA - "Abandon your eyes", the special project by Patrick Tuttofuoco scheduled in the Banca di Bologna Conference Room in Palazzo De' Toschi, will close on February 18th.
The exhibition, curated by Davide Ferri and part of the institutional program of Art City Bologna, presents a series of new productions and two recent works by the artist, in which the privileged relationship with industrial and synthetic materials such as neon, iron is evident and plastic.
