GROUND LAYER, Francesco Irnem’s new project, is part of SATELLITE COLLICOLA. It has been conceived and created especially for the phisical, thematic and conceptual characteristics of Spoleto’s Roman House (Via di Visiale), with its exciting living spaces and its elegant mosaic floors.
On show from December 3rd until March 26, 2017.
The marks caused to Palazzo Collicola by the recent earthquake turn into art. PALAZZO COLLICOLA ARTI VISIVE‘s director Gianluca Marziani instructed the artist Vincenzo Pennacchi to create an installation that would give an aesthetic and symbolic value to the fissures produced by the earthquake on the museum’s walls. LA CREPA (The Crack), is one of the proposals of Palazzo Collicola’s winter exhibitions that will be on show until February 12.
An important donation of six sculptures from 1963 by BEVERLY PEPPER is one of the highlights of these winter exhibitions. The works, donated to the contemporary art museum by the artist, testifies of the long-term relationship between the sculptor and Umbrian territory. In 1962 Beverly Pepper was the only woman as well as one of the three American artists (together with David Smith and Alexander Calder) who were invited to take part in the exhibition SCULPTURES IN THE CITY, curated by Giovanni Carandente.
The first stage of CORTESIE PER GLI OSPITI (Courtesies to Guests) project will feature works by Giovanni Bonelli’ private gallery in Milan. COURTESIES TO GUESTS is a new cycle dedicated to the world of private galleries with their stories, choices, passions and intuitions… a narrative and engaging journey, imagined as a cultural adventure. Giovanni Bonelli’s gallery, opened in 2012 in the “Isola” district, features works by emerging artists as well as established national and international artists (Maurizio Mochetti, Gianni Pettena, Daniel Spoerri).
Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive will also host an ambitious project connecting FOOD and VISUAL ARTS: OBIC, originating from an idea by Anna Paola Lo Presti and Gianluca Marziani, is the title of a big book in which the featured art works explore the history of food, from its origins to primary ingredients, traditional dishes and innovations.
Three new sculptures by Spoleto’s artist Cristina MMR Bonucci will be presented within the cycle TERRITORIO Storie di artisti umbri (Territory, Stories of Umbrian artists). Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive’s exhibition pays tribute to Kengo Kuma’s architectural look, to the holistic spirit of its buildings. The works have been set up in the Piano Nobile’s main room.

(on show until March 26)
Finally, L’ECO DEL BOSCO (The Echo of the Wood) is Franco Marrocco’s exhibition. Marrocco’s artistic path seems to consciously aim at reducing the unnecessary. His artistic quality has an oriental profile and seems to be influenced by Japanese culture of ceramics, where the talent shows itself in the silence of the suspended step.

The magic of Swan Lake, one of the most famous and acclaimed ballets of the twentieth century, will kick off Live in Umbria, a recently presented series of events organized in Umbria by Athanor Events. On February 11th (9.15 pm), Raffaele Paganini National Company will stage Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece, directed and choreographed by Luigi Martelletta, at Spoleto’s Teatro Nuovo ‘Gian Carlo Menotti’.
Swan Lake is a great love story which ends with the death of the two unhappy lovers to the tune of a rousing music. The show was born from an idea that for many years the director and choreographer Luigi Martelletta pursued and hoped to stage. His long and intense career as a principal dancer at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome and in many other Italian and European theaters enabled him to study in depth, to examine and to dance many times this spectacular ballet.
Strongly linked to academic tradition, Martelletta proposes a more streamlined, more lively work, lightening all the mannerisms and pantomimes that are part of the classical repertoire, while maintaining the original choreography: the swans, the Spanish dance, the Russian dance, the waltz , the pas de deux, and much more.
The particularity of this show consists in the ability to combine fantasy and reality, to present itself as alive and topical. And this is the stylistic peculiarity of this ‘Swan Lake’. On stage, the absolute beauty of athletic, seductive dancers, like international etoiles Arianne Lafita Gonzalvez and Vittorio Galloro, together with outstanding soloists, will stage a popular success that still exerts an enduring appeal because it embodies the romantic aspiration towards an unattainable ideal.

Scuola di Teatro Teodelapio is a place where an open tearoom is attended by women, to discuss public affairs, politics, culture, social matters and habits, local issues, and find out how to give a voice to existing realities, disclosing their experiences as women in the most diverse domains.
The tearoom opens again from Thursday 1 December at 17.30. The first meeting is with Camilla Laureti, Head of Culture and Tourism by the City of Spoleto.
Men are not necessarily prevented from assisting; they will be allowed in as long as they’ll tiptoe around the female universe of the area.
