A documentary titled 'NERO Perugino Burri' will air on Sky Arte on Thursday, July 13, 2023, offering behind-the-scenes access to the exhibition of the same name at Palazzo Baldeschi in Perugia. The exhibition, organized by Fondazione Perugia in collaboration with Fondazione Burri, runs until October 2, 2023, and explores the color black through the works of Pietro Vannucci (Il Perugino) and Alberto Burri. Directed by Arianna Marelli and produced by 3D Produzioni for Sky Arte, the documentary features exclusive footage and commentary from curators and experts. It delves into the historical and artistic concepts behind the show, which was made possible by loans from the Louvre in Paris and the Gallerie degli Uffizi in Florence.
