Aldo Mondino's works occupy key sites across Genoa
An extensive exhibition dedicated to Aldo Mondino (Turin, 1938–2005) has commenced in Genoa, highlighting the inaugural volume of his comprehensive catalogue released by Allemandi, with editing by his son Antonio. Curated by Ilaria Bonacossa, the event encompasses Museo di Villa Croce and Palazzo della Meridiana, along with installations at six additional historic sites. Villa Croce presents pieces from 1960 to 1990, such as Tappeti stesi (1985, 1992) and The Byzantine World (1999). Meanwhile, Palazzo della Meridiana displays works from 1980 to 2004, including Dervisci (1993) and Spirale (1998–2016). Significant pieces like Scultura un corno (1980) at Palazzo Ducale and Mekka Mokka (1988–2016) at Casa di Colombo are also featured. The exhibition continues across various locations.
