Roberto Capucci. Perspectives at Villa Manin

Overview

The idea of making Capucci's sculpture clothes of the eighties and nineties dialogue with the frescoes of Villa Manin, recently brought to light thanks to the restoration of the Doge residence, was born spontaneously. Even the subjects of the eighteenth-century decorations, designed to recreate suggestions of trompe l'oeil through a skillful use of perspective, blend perfectly with the search for three-dimensionality of architecture often adopted by the Master in that period. Hence the title of the exhibition "Perspectives".

A selection of 15 dresses will be on display among the most significant and majestic dresses that invite you to relive the splendor of these halls once inhabited by the family of the last Doge of Venice.

In addition to a selection of real sculptures created for the centenary of the Venice Biennale and for the Capucci Museum, until 2017 hosted at Villa Bardini in Florence, will be on display, among the wedding dresses, the "Red Bride" created for the exhibition at Palazzo Fortuny and the one inspired by Tiepolo's fresco "The Continence of Scipio" at Villa Cordellina in Montecchio Maggiore, "Fire" and "Fans" will also be exhibited as well as "Primavera" with its over one hundred fabric flowers applied on silk organza, in the same style of the famous purple dress created for the actress Valentina Cortese.

Finally, a series of finely embroidered dresses will be exhibited as a testimony of Italian craftsmanship excellence. 

To complete the exhibition will be exhibited a selection of drawings and sketches of the master's fist.
