Marco Goldin curates two shows for Nova Gorica/Gorizia 2025, one on Ungaretti, one on Ca' Pesaro school

Curator Marco Goldin has organized two exhibitions for Nova Gorica/Gorizia 2025 European Capital of Culture. The first, 'Ungaretti poeta e soldato. Il Carso e l'anima del mondo. Poesia pittura storia,' at the Museo di Santa Chiara in Gorizia, features twelve contemporary Italian painters who reinterpret Ungaretti's 'Il porto sepolto' and the Carso landscapes. The second, at the Galleria Comunale di Monfalcone, focuses on the Venetian Scuola di Ca' Pesaro, with fifty works by artists including Gino Rossi, Arturo Martini, Umberto Boccioni, and Felice Casorati. Rossi and Martini are central, with their 'Maternità' sculptures contrasted. Boccioni's 'Ritratto femminile' (1911) and Casorati's 'Le vecchie comari' (1908) are external guests. Other artists include Gino Parin, Edgardo Sambo Cappelletto, Piero Marussig, Umberto Moggioli, Nino Springolo, and Giovanni Napoleone Pellis. The exhibition explores art in Veneto during World War I, paralleling Ungaretti's wartime poetry.
