Ferrara Arte - Current Exhibitions in Ferrara

Gianfranco Goberti. The Magic of Painting
27 September 2025 –  24 August 2026, Castello Estense

The noble floor of the Castello Estense hosts a major retrospective dedicated to Gianfranco Goberti (1939–2023), one of the most original painters from Ferrara in the second half of the 20th century. More than forty works retrace a creative journey spanning over fifty years, from his early “New Figuration” to the distinctive optical figuration of the 1960s, culminating in his iconic canvases with mirrors, ropes, and striped armchairs exploring the relationship between reality and image.

In the 1980s and beyond, his painting focused on everyday objects such as shirts and sofas, symbols of his constant investigation into the theme of the line. Later cycles, including the one dedicated to the myth of Icarus, provide a powerful metaphor for the human condition. The exhibition also presents two rare videotapes produced for the Centro Video Arte of Palazzo dei Diamanti, highlighting Goberti’s experimental approach.

A unique opportunity to rediscover, just steps away from the places where he lived and taught, the visionary strength of an artist who reinvented painting with both rigor and lightness.

The Analogous Mountain. Michelangelo Antonioni and Luigi Ghirri
13 June – 1 November 2026, Spazio Antonioni

Spazio Antonioni presents The Analogous Mountain. Michelangelo Antonioni and Luigi Ghirri, an exhibition that brings together two leading figures of twentieth-century Italian culture through a dialogue between the Enchanted Mountains series by the renowned filmmaker from Ferrara and the photographs Luigi Ghirri took during his travels in the 1970s.

The exhibition explores the profound affinities between Antonioni's vision and that of the celebrated photographer from Reggio Emilia. For both artists, the landscape becomes a space for reflection, where silence, emptiness and anticipation invite viewers to question reality. Their works reveal a shared way of looking at the world, transforming ordinary places into suspended, evocative images that blur the boundaries between experience, memory and imagination.

From Monet to Van Gogh to Kandinsky. New Perspectives on Nature and Modernity
19 September 2026 – 10 January 2027

In autumn 2026, Palazzo dei Diamanti will host a major international exhibition dedicated to the birth of modern European painting. From Monet to Van Gogh to Kandinsky. New Perspectives on Nature and Modernity explores the profound artistic transformations that, between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, revolutionised the way artists observed and represented the world.

Featuring 120 works, including paintings, drawings and prints, primarily from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam alongside important public and private collections, the exhibition traces the evolution of European painting from the Barbizon School to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Divisionism, through to the avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century and the first experiments in abstraction.

The exhibition brings together masterpieces by artists such as Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Edgar Degas, Pierre Bonnard, Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian, alongside leading Italian masters including Giovanni Fattori, Giovanni Segantini, Giovanni Boldini, Gaetano Previati, Umberto Boccioni and Carlo Carrà. A journey through landscapes, cities, light and colour, revealing an extraordinary season of innovation and experimentation that changed the history of art forever.

Ferrara Arte - The Foundation

In Ferrara, important art events mean Ferrara Arte, a foundation established with the aim of holding international exhibitions in the splendid setting of the Palazzo dei Diamanti in collaboration with the Art Museums Service of the Municipality of Ferrara.
The foundation's first initiative dates back to 1991-92 when, together with the Musée Marmottan, an anthological exhibition of Giovanni Boldini was organised in Paris, followed in Ferrara by the exhibition 'Claude Monet and his friends'.

Over the years, Ferrara Arte has forged a valuable network of connections and collaborations with the world's greatest museums - from the Metropolitan in New York to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, from the Museo del Prado to the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, from the Tate in London to the Bozar in Brussels and the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart - making the Palazzo dei Diamanti one of the best known and most respected excellences abroad.
