Corrado Cagli's Tarot Works on View in Rome
The gallery Antichità Alberto Di Castro in Rome presents 'Cagli 1947–1959', a survey of works by Corrado Cagli (Ancona 1910 – Rome 1976). Curated by Alberto Di Castro, Denise Di Castro, Gian Enzo Sperone, and Yuri Tagliacozzo, the exhibition includes esoteric tarot interpretations such as 'Ruota della Fortuna' and 'Bagatto come Arlecchino', created in the post-war period. Also on view are 1949 works exploring the fourth dimension, including 'L'Angoscia' and 'Diogene'. The painting 'Ça Irà', considered Cagli's masterpiece, returns to public display after eighteen years. Works like 'Simboli' (1956) and 'Flotta Arunta' (1957) reflect his turn toward the primordial, while a series of 'carte mute' (1958–1959) merge art, science, craftsmanship, and theory to create optical effects. The gallery, founded in Rome in 1878 and directed by Alberto Di Castro, is housed in a 19th-century space designed by architect Clemente Busiri Vici. The exhibition runs until May 5.
