Alessandro Morani's D'Annunzian Rome at Galleria Aleandri

Galleria Aleandri in Rome presents a solo exhibition of Alessandro Morani (1859–1941), a painter, decorator, illustrator, and scenographer. The show transports viewers to a dreamlike, D'Annunzian Rome where the fascination with antiquity, tinged with a refined Symbolist sensuality, intertwines with a tragic sense of life. This aesthetic was elevated by the British Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which inspired the Roman cenacle In Arte Libertas, co-founded by Morani. The exhibition features portraits, views, studies for wall decorations and stained glass, and scenes of rural life. Morani's meticulous craftsmanship objectifies a suspended unease, capturing the soul's pulse through carefully chiseled details.
