Tre Capolavori a Vicenza Returns to Basilica Palladiana with Water Theme
The 'Tre Capolavori a Vicenza' exhibition returns to the Basilica Palladiana for its second edition, focusing on the element of water through works by Leonardo da Vinci, Jacopo Bassano, and Gianandrea Gazzola. Free admission for Vicenza residents and province, the show is curated by Guido Beltramini and co-organized by Intesa Sanpaolo. Gazzola's site-specific installation features a square water tank activated by infrasounds, projecting ripples onto 11-meter suspended cloths. Leonardo's writings on vision, light, and shadows explore 'species' and 'visual waves,' connecting to Gazzola's work. Bassano's Renaissance painting 'L'Alluvione del Comeda' commemorates the July 27, 1564 flood, displayed alongside Palladian land reclamation studies. Reduced entry to 'La caduta degli angeli ribelli. Francesco Bertos' at Gallerie d'Italia-Vicenza is offered with Basilica ticket. Michele Coppola of Intesa Sanpaolo highlighted the partnership with Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana.
