Multimedia projections bring Giovanni Fattori's Maremma landscapes to life at La Scapigliata farm

On September 2, 2017, the agricultural estate La Scapigliata in Orbetello, Tuscany, will host a multimedia exhibition dedicated to Giovanni Fattori (1825–1908), a leading Italian painter of the Macchiaioli movement. The event, organized in collaboration with the Museo Fattori di Livorno, will project high-definition animations of Fattori's works onto a 450-square-meter surface. The projections, designed by multivision designer Paolo Buroni, will feature paintings such as Mandrie, Maremmane, Campagna Romana, Marcatura dei puledri in Maremma, and Marcatura dei puledri, sourced from the museum and private collections. The screening begins at night and includes period photographs, paintings, and etchings. The article also discusses the growing trend of technology-driven exhibitions, citing examples like the 'Impossible Exhibition of Caravaggio' in Fossano, Piedmont, which reproduced 40 works using high-definition technology, and Casa Modigliani in Spoleto, which launched a crowdfunding campaign for a multimedia exhibition. These events highlight a shift away from transporting original artworks toward digital reproductions.
