At Palazzo Roverella, the story of a Russian fairy tale
Dreamlike painting and fairytale images: these are the leitmotif of the exhibition to be hosted at Palazzo Roverella in Rovigo from 4 April to 5 July, 2020. Chagall's romanticism and poetry explode in the subjects of his canvases, among flying donkeys, crazy musicians and boundless landscapes. This imaginative and visionary twentieth-century artist summed up the Russian cultural tradition of his time, depicting working class life and the influence of the artistic avant-garde movements alive at that time in the rest of Europe. Happiness and optimism, lively, bright colors burst forth in a style that recalls the childish naivety and the language of the fairy tales of Anche la mia Russia mi amerà [Even my Russia will love me].
Bari
Bari, the densely populated capital of Puglia, overlooks the Adriatic Sea for about 40 miles and to a depth of 13 kilometres. It is an important religious and commercial centre which has been defined "the door to the East" and presents a particularly important ancient town center in terms of historical and urban heritage.
Venice
Elegant, inimitable, exciting and romantic, precious: this is Venice, the gem on any tour of Italy where churches, palazzi, ancient bridges, monuments and piazzas confirm its artistic and cultural vitality. All has testified to and continues to testify to the long history of the city.
Florence
Florence is history, tradition, art and culture. The Capital of Tuscany, as Stendhal described it, possesses a “subtle charm” and boasts an historical-artistic legacy known throughout the world.
Palermo
First a Greek and Roman city, then a capital of the Arab world, and later conquered by both the Normans and the Swabians – this is Palermo, a place where preciosities left by the Arab and Norman rules coexist along with the Baroque and Art Nouveau styles of the buildings and monuments, the city streets and markets, gardens and theatres.
