Arrigo Minerbi: "il vero ideale" tra Liberty e Classicismo
08 July 2023 - 26 December 2023 - Castello Estense

The exhibition traces for the first time the entire span of Minerbi's production, the sculptor pre-diluted by D'Annunzio, placing him in the Italian artistic context of the early 20th century.

Thanks to loans from important museums and private collections, the exhibition brings together around 80 pictorial and sculptural works in different formats, including monumental ones. The presence of works in plaster, marble, stone, bronze and terracotta, and the comparison of sketches, models, finished works and casts allows the visitor to approach the author's modus operandi and virtuosic treatment of materials, capable of interpreting the linear synthesis of the secessions, or emulating the formal clarity of the Renaissance masters with an original purist naturalism.

Achille Funi. A master of the twentieth century between history and myth
October 28, 2023 - February 25, 2024 - Ferrara, Palazzo dei Diamanti

A unique opportunity to encounter the great work of Achille Funi, among the most significant and sensitive interpreters of the artistic temperament of the first half of the 20th century.

From Futurist research to attention to the poetics of Magical Realism, from dialogue with the New Objectivity to the recovery of the Italian tradition of the Renaissance and classical antiquity, this major anthological exhibition takes place: over one hundred and thirty works illustrate the path of a modern artist devoted, however, to classicism who, through passionate research on techniques and pictorial forms, was able to win a leading place in the panorama of Italian art of the twentieth century.
