Florence Exhibition Explores 20th-Century Art in Basilicata
The exhibition titled 'Dentro il paesaggio. Arte del '900 nella Basilicata interna' has been inaugurated at Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, under the curation of Antonello Tolve. This event aligns with the sixth edition of Settimana Lucana, themed 'Radici e Percorsi.' Showcasing 116 pieces, primarily two-dimensional works like paintings, drawings, and collages, the exhibition features artists from Basilicata, including Leonardo Sinisgalli, Riccardo Dalisi, and others. Additionally, it highlights artists linked to the region, such as Carla Accardi and Fausto Melotti. The display is divided into four main sections and includes around twenty artist's books along with an interactive installation focused on Basilicata's parks. This exhibition also sets the stage for a cultural journey through Val d'Agri, connecting various museums, including Museo Paul Russotto and Pinacoteca Carlo Levi.
