MAN Nuoro hosts first retrospective of Vittorio Accornero and Edina Altara

The Museo MAN in Nuoro showcases a retrospective highlighting the artistic and personal journeys of Italian duo Vittorio Accornero (1896-1982) and Edina Altara (1898-1983). Altara, a self-taught ceramist and illustrator, first displayed her art in Turin in 1917, where her work was acquired by King Vittorio Emanuele III. She illustrated children's literature, collaborated with various magazines, created ceramics, and established a fashion atelier in Milan. Accornero, known for his work with Gucci, earned a gold medal in 1925 and designed film sets for prominent theaters. The couple, who married in 1922 and worked together as “Edina e Ninon,” separated amicably in 1934. The exhibition presents their diverse works, offering an illustrated exploration of 20th-century Sardinia and beyond.
