From the Informal and Pop Art movements in Italy, up to the ancient art of Sassetta and the contemporary art of Kounellis and Munari.
PISTOIA - At Palazzo Buontalenti "'60 Pop Art Italia", a major exhibition curated by Walter Guadagnini and set up from 16 March to 14 July.
For the public, a real journey to those cities - such as Rome, Milan, Turin, Venice, Palermo and Pistoia - which allowed the proliferation of Pop culture: the events of the movement in Italy are reconstructed along the way, through 60 works and their major exponents, from Schifano to Festa, from Rotella to Pascali, from Kounellis to Titina Maselli and Giosetta Fioroni.
LECCO - The sign, the colour, the material, the gesture are the protagonists from 15 March to 30 June at Palazzo delle Paure in the exhibition "Informal. Italian painting of the fifties".
Curated by Simona Bartolena, the exhibition recounts that generation of authors who emerged wounded from the Second World War and experimented with new languages and new styles capable of narrating a dramatic and complex situation.
More than 60 works by artists such as Afro, Tancredi, Chighine, Fontana, Moreni, Burri, Morlotti and many others are on display.
MASSA MARITTIMA - "Sassetta and his time. A look at the Sienese art of the early fifteenth century" is scheduled from 14 March to 15 July at the San Pietro all'Orto Museum.
Curated by Alessandro Bagnoli, the exhibition brings together around fifty works of which 26 by the Sienese master (among these also an unpublished one, a Madonna with Child, discovered under a seventeenth-century repainting), the others belong to artists active in those years in the same context.
FLORENCE - From 15 March at the Museo Novecento "The room sees.
Drawings 1973-1990", an exhibition dedicated to the drawings of Jannis Kounellis, with the artistic direction of Sergio Risaliti and curated by Dieter Schwarz.

MAMIANO DI TRAVERSETOLO - At the Magnani-Rocca Foundation the great exhibition "Bruno Munari. Everything", from 16 March to 30 June: alternating graphics, objects and works of art, the itinerary condenses 70 years of ideas and works without being divided into typologies or by chronology, but by attitudes and concepts, so as to be able to show the connections and design relationships between objects even apparently very different from each other.
ROME - Spazio Treccani Arte presents a new exhibition format, entitled Voci, which welcomes selected artists invited to choose a word from the vocabulary of the Italian language and to create, starting from its definition, one or more limited edition works and a site-specific artistic project.
On March 11th the cycle will be inaugurated by Alice Guareschi, with the word "day", on display until Friday 14th June with 2 previously unpublished limited edition neon works.
From 13 March to 1 May at the Central Institute for Graphics, the solo show "Double Shadow" by Romanian artist Ciprian Mureşan.
Curated by Maura Picciau and Pier Paolo Pancotto, the exhibition presents approximately 24 works on paper of different formats, as well as 9 photographic works and a sculpture.
From 12 March to 15 July at the Erica Ravenna Gallery the two-person exhibition dedicated to Vincenzo Agnetti and Tomaso Binga entitled "a machine is a machine".
The exhibition focuses on the points of contact between the two artists who, despite never having met, shared common languages: around 30 works, mostly unpublished, from Tomaso Binga's dactylocodes to the products of the drugged machine by Vincenzo Agnetti, tell how their work anticipated what is happening today in the field of new technologies, artificial intelligence and new media.
