Baroque Shrine in Guglionesi Houses First Eventualist Monument

exhibition · 2026-09-08

A collective exhibition, initiated by the Sovrintendenza, was held in the then newly renovated Museo Sannitico, now known as the Museo Archeologico di Campobasso. This event marked a significant stage in the development of the eventualist aesthetic theorized by Sergio Lombardo. During this occasion, Carlo Birrozzi, then superintendent of Molise, met the Roman artist, who had been active for twenty years in Termoli, where his second daughter grew up. The exhibition led to the creation of the first eventualist monument, now housed in a Baroque shrine in Guglionesi. The article from segnonline details this development, highlighting the intersection of contemporary art theory and historical architecture.
