Earth Foundation Opens Third Season with Depero and Vitturi Shows in Verona
The Earth Foundation in Verona has just launched its third exhibition season, featuring two main showcases: one for Fortunato Depero and another for Lorenzo Vitturi, both highlighting food and social themes. Depero’s exhibition, named 'Fortunato Depero. Sete di Futurismo, Fame d’America,' is curated by Federico Zanoner and Luca Bochicchio. It showcases works from the Mart museum, tracing his artistic evolution from 1914 to his 1929 visit to New York, with a focus on marketing and culinary themes. Meanwhile, the Vitturi exhibit, titled 'Borgo Roma. Paesaggio in transizione,' curated by Giangavino Pazzola, Giulia Adami, and Caterina Borelli, runs until January 6, 2025, exploring urban transformation in Verona’s post-war industrial scene.
