Mimmo Paladino's Tribute to Piero della Francesca Across Six Arezzo Venues
Mimmo Paladino, born in 1948 in Paduli, pays tribute to Piero della Francesca through the exhibition 'La regola di Piero', which runs until January 31, 2020, at six locations in Arezzo. This event, organized by the Comune di Arezzo and the Fondazione Guido d’Arezzo, is curated by Luigi Maria Di Corato and includes more than 50 pieces, such as paintings, sculptures, and installations. Notable sites comprise the Galleria Comunale d’Arte Contemporanea, featuring 34 paintings alongside various sculptures. A 20-meter votive obelisk is located in Piazza San Francesco, while monumental works are displayed at the Fortezza Medicea. The deconsecrated Church of Sant’Ignazio showcases 'Dormienti', and the Church of San Domenico exhibits a gold-leaf cross. Visitors are greeted by 'Elmo' and 'Bandiere' at Porta Stufi.
