Sky Arte Documentary Explores Italian Art Déco in Forlì Exhibition

A Sky Arte HD special, airing Monday February 27, 2017, focuses on the exhibition "Art Déco. Gli anni ruggenti in Italia" at the Musei San Domenico in Forlì, open until June 18, 2017. The documentary covers both the exhibition itinerary and the history of the Art Déco style, which originated in the 1920s and profoundly influenced the following decade's creative evolution. Key characteristics of Déco include a taste for decoration, clear geometric references, and a strong link with industrial reality, replacing artisan craftsmanship. The exhibition synthesizes this modern language, analyzing its Italian developments across sixteen sections. Featured artists include Zecchin, Severini, Casorati, Andloviz, Timmel, and Oppi, with a highlight on Richard-Ginori collections designed by architect Gio Ponti. The site of Sky Arte is powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface.
