Savinio and de Chirico Exhibition at Fondazione Magnani Rocca
The Fondazione Magnani Rocca in Mamiano di Traversetolo hosts an exhibition exploring the artistic relationship between Alberto Savinio and Giorgio de Chirico. The show traces their shared metaphysical roots and divergent paths, highlighting their Greek heritage, modernist anxieties, and theatrical set designs. De Chirico's romantic classicism and Savinio's surrealist, musical approach are juxtaposed through paintings, portraits, and stage costumes. The exhibition closes with a section on their theater work, with de Chirico inspired by Paolo Veronese and Savinio by Cubism and androgynous fashion.
