Gianfranco Goberti's Hyperrealist Paintings at Casa Romei in Ferrara
At the Museo di Casa Romei in Ferrara, the exhibition 'GOBERTI 2022' showcases the work of Gianfranco Goberti, a native of Ferrara born in 1939, and will be available for viewing until June 30, 2022. The display includes hyperrealistic pieces, such as rope interpretations influenced by the Icarus legend, four Icaruses on skates, and a 'Guanto da Bagno' positioned above a bathtub from the 15th century. Among the exhibited works are four pieces from the Assicoop Collection, including a painting from Şanlıurfa, Turkey. A special creation, 'Cupido bendato,' was made for this exhibition. This initiative is part of 'Sintonie,' a collaboration involving the Direzione Regionale Musei Emilia-Romagna, Assicoop Modena&Ferrara, and Legacoop Estense, featuring over 700 artworks from 19th- and 20th-century artists, with an additional 37 pieces displayed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Ferrara until 2024.
