Palazzo Collicola Unveils New Installation of Modern Art Gallery in Spoleto
At Palazzo Collicola in Spoleto, the Galleria d’Arte Moderna “Giovanni Carandente” has unveiled its reconfigured permanent collection, featuring artworks that were previously kept in storage. Curated by Saverio Verini, this initiative categorizes the collection into sixteen thematic and chronological segments, showcasing artists such as Simona Weller, Elisa Montessori, Leoncillo, Alexander Calder, Franco Angeli, and Mario Schifano. The initial room focuses on the artistic journey of Leoncillo Leonardi. A section also revisits the 1962 exhibition "Sculture nella città," highlighted by Ugo Mulas' photography. Monographic spaces present works by Beverly Pepper and Calder's jewelry, while Sol LeWitt's pieces are arranged in a lab-style environment. This installation pays tribute to gallerist Marilena Bonomo and features recent acquisitions, with support from local patrons through the Art Bonus platform. Temporary exhibitions will continue until January 10, 2027.
