Overview
The Middle Ages explored through paintings, photographs, artefacts, history and the Palio, under the patronage of the Cultural Olympiad of Milano Cortina 2026.
Visitors will be able to admire the "dualism between dream and reality that distinguished the 2025 edition of the Palio di Feltre and offers a duale perspective: on the one hand, the Middle Ages imagined by artists, writers and musicians between the 19th and 20th centuries as a source of myths and suggestions; on the other, the Middle Ages of festivals and popular re-enactments, which transform history into a collective ritual and shared identity, bring to life those sought after Middle Ages and their social ramifications".
Outstanding works on display include Lorenzo Delleani III's painting depicting the destruction of Vicenza and Mario Pompei's set designs for the Parisina saga, on loan from the Vittoriale. Other major works include the figures of Blessed Bernardino, Panfilo Castaldi, and Vittorino da Feltre.
Of particular importance is the restoration, supported by the Palio Città di Feltre Association, of several community property items that will be displayed in the exhibition. Significant space is dedicated to the Palio of Feltre, narrated through documents, costumes, heraldry, and banners, with the banners themselves presented as individual works of art in their own right.
Historic posters from the Salce Collection illustrate how historical re-enactments were shaped by ideology or tourism.
