On the occasion of the Holocaust Memorial Day, an international recurrence to remember the victims of the Holocaust on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Spoleot’s municipal library presents Exhibition: a literature on the Shoah. The bibliographic path between classics and new publications will be available at Palazzo Mauri from Thursday, January 27 to Tuesday, February 15 according to the opening hours of the library (Monday 15-19; Tuesday and Thursday 9-13 and 15-19; Wednesday and Friday 9-13).

A second event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 15 at 10:30 am in live streaming on the YouTube channel of the City of Spoleto. The meeting, which will also involve high school students, will be with Dr. Enzo Fiano, son of Nedo Fiano, survivor of Auschwitz, manager and consultant for the music industry, president of the Conservatorio “G. Verdi” in Como, author of the book Charleston. Storia di una grande famiglia travolta dalla Shoah.

The Italian Republic recognizes the day January 27, the date of the pulling down of the gates of Auschwitz, as “Holocaust Memorial Day”, to remember the Shoah (extermination of the Jewish people), the racial laws, the Italian persecution of the Jewish citizens, the Italians who suffered deportation, imprisonment, death, as well as those who, even from different sides, opposed the extermination project.

Exhibition | MAURIZIO CANNAVACCIUOLO / CLAUDIO MASSINI “Ma non ho bicchieri come i tuoi” @ Palazzo Collicola
Feb 7 all-day

Ma non ho bicchieri come i tuoi
Curated by Marco Tonelli and Lorenzo Fiorucci
Palazzo Collicola, Spoleto
13 November 2021– 13 February 2022

An unpredictable, eccentric painting exhibition, a dialogue between two artists who work on the very margins of images and representation, line and ornament, illusion and meaning.

Maurizio Cannavacciuolo (1954) and Claudio Massini (1955), both born in Naples, contemporaries, a history of long friendship, made up of interferences but not influences, between the 1970s and 1980s they shared Lucio Amelio’s gallery in Naples, a veritable centre of the contemporary art world of the time in Italy: on the occasion of this exhibition at Palazzo Collicola, they have therefore recalled each other.

The exhibition itinerary (a double solo show) unfolds along the ten rooms on the ground floor dedicated to temporary exhibitions. Cannavacciuolo and Massini are exhibiting 30 works (including a number of polyptychs) created from the late 1990s to the present day, mostly paintings on canvas, with Cannavacciuolo also exhibiting a large work of ceramic tiles (Sinestesia) as evidence of his openness to other “genres”, while Massini closes the exhibition with a photographic re-proposition of social art interventions carried out between 1974 and 1980, a period of research that oscillates between the anthropological and the popular and that took shape in a collective context such as the intervention carried out in Sant’Antimo in 1977 entitled La notte di Maggio Mellone.

The exhibition attempts to underline the different humoral and narrative aspects of their paths, which in Cannavacciuolo’s case are manifested with a sort of healthy irony, almost didactic, as a tender and ruthless observer who tries to make the spectator reflect through logical and visual traps, in Massini’s case with subtle and precise architectures made of balances, countless layers of colour, small utopias, orientalisms, polyptychs, empire-style recoveries and nostalgia, interweaving of constellations and hedonistic decorations.

Cannavacciuolo’s extravagant and impertinent visual rebuses in works such as Bubbles, Fire Zazazà!, Excelsior, Bored Sea Food vs Barbed Wire Family or Menina do Rio, calor que provoca arrepio are thus a perfect counterpoint to Massini’s dreamlike and frozen spaces in paintings such as Barcellonese, Riparo, Dall’alto e fuori or Architettura fatale, as they both swerve away from the current practice of modernity, tradition and contemporaneity.

Two painters, therefore, who are not marginal but complex and stratified, involuntary antagonists on the contemporary scene from which they stand out for their dense weave of meanings and references, hybridisations and references to other, international cultures and therefore part of a universal culture.

Exhibition at Palazzo Collicola
18 December 2021 – 13 February 2022

Presentation Saturday 18 December at 12,00 am

Throughout his life, American architect and designer Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) has always been imagining the future, as can be seen in his treatise Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth written in 1969. Themes such as sustainability, ecologism, energy problems and renewable sources are the basis of his thinking and his architectural structures, from the Dymaxion House to the Paperboard Domes and vehicles such as the Dymaxion car.

The most distinctive feature of his poetics, however, is undoubtedly the conception and creation of geodesic domes (for which Fuller holds the patent), extremely light and easy-to-construct buildings that he began designing in 1957 all over the world and which even inspired the name of a complex chemical molecule, the “fullerene“. So successful was he that the US Army commissioned him hundreds such structures for military installations.

Geodesic domes are structures made up of triangular, tubular and modular elements, which are joined at specific points to form polygons and can be covered with synthetic materials or lightweight roofing, This was the case of the so-called Spoletosfera (Fuller’s only geodesic dome in Italy), which was installed in 1967 on the occasion of the 10th Spoleto Festival of Two Worlds to a design by Fuller and Shoji Sadao (his Japanese architect collaborator) and built with the help of students from eight countries and local architects, the supervision of Giovanni Carandente and the contribution of the Southern Illinois University, the USA International Council of the Arts and the Alluminium Company of America. The inauguration was a great success in the presence of Fuller and with the performance of a real happening (two years later, Mario Ceroli and Claudio Cintoli would also perform happenings entitled Io and Rimbalzare).

Following an agreement between the City of Spoleto and the ‘Pietro Vannucci’ Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia (the two institutions already collaborated on the occasion of several exhibitions at Palazzo Collicola) and under the supervision of model-making professor Giuseppe Fioroni, a group of students reproduced, after surveys and measurements taken in situ, a 1:20 scale model of the Spoletosphere using carbon, glass and aluminium fibres, highlighting the construction principle based on interlocking and alternating hexagons and pentagons and the use of three different sizes of connecting rods. The work will be donated to the Palazzo Collicola museum after the end of the exhibition (a short video presentation by Vincenzo Alessandria was also made for the occasion).

In addition, a series of archive documents conserved at the Carandente Library are on display to the public for the first time. These include original design sketches with Fuller’s autograph technical indications, articles and magazines dedicated to him, photographs of the assembly and inauguration phases or models of other structures designed by the architect, as well as part of the correspondence between him and the Festival Of Two Worlds.

Feb 7 all-day

From 12 November 2021 to 6 March 2022 at the Rocca Albornoz – National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto, an itinerant exhibition that offers the unique opportunity to admire at the same time the monuments of the serial site ‘The Longobards in Italy. Places of power (568-774 AD)’, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for ten years.

The celebrations for the tenth anniversary of the serial site ‘The Longobards in Italy’ as UNESCO World Heritage continue with the travelling exhibition “Touching the Langobards first-hand“, which will be inaugurated on Friday 12 November at 3.30 p.m. at the Rocca Albornoz – National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto, after the stops in Ancona, Benevento and Monte Sant’Angelo.

The exhibition, which will be open until 6 March, has been organised in collaboration with the ‘Museo Tattile Statale Omero‘ of Ancona and financed by the Ministry of Culture in accordance with Law 77/2006. The aim of the exhibition is to raise awareness of the extraordinary nature and complexity of the UNESCO site through a tactile route and a range of different user options that facilitate understanding, ensuring an optimal multisensory experience for all.

Seven three-dimensional scale models of the architectural monuments most representative of the Lombard serial site and seven models of the areas in which the monuments are located will be on display in the rooms, allowing tactile exploration of their contexts of origin. To make the itinerary even more accessible there will be audio descriptions (in Italian and English), recorded by the actors of the Compagnia #SIneNOmine of the Casa di Reclusione di Maiano in Spoleto, to be listened to via NFC and QR code, as well as a catalogue in Braille and one in large print for free consultation. Finally, to allow for inclusive use of the models, videos have been made using the technique of compositing in LIS – Italian Sign Language, together with images and animations, subtitles and audio.

The exhibition ‘Touching the Longobards first-hand‘ allows visitors to get to know and “touch” the seven architectural excellences of the serial site ‘The Longobards in Italy. The places of power (568-774 AD)‘, which has been recognised by UNESCO for ten years. )’, which UNESCO recognised as a World Heritage Site ten years ago, an itinerary of the places of Longobard power that, in addition to the Basilica of San Salvatore in Spoleto includes: the Gastaldaga area and the Episcopal complex in Cividale del Friuli (Udine), the monumental area with the Monastery of San Salvatore – Santa Giulia in Brescia, the Castrum with the Tower of Torba and the Church of Santa Maria foris portas in Torba and in Castelseprio (Varese), the Tempietto del Clitunno in Campello sul Clitunno (Perugia), the Complex of Santa Sofia in Benevento and the Sanctuary of San Michele in Monte Sant’Angelo (Foggia).

The exhibition is curated by the Associazione Italia Langobardorum – the management structure of the serial site – which is part of the circuit of the 9th edition of the Biennial “Arteinsieme – culture and cultures without barriers”, a group of museums and places of culture that promote activities aimed at encouraging the participation of people with disabilities and special needs in general or from other cultures, enhancing the contemporary artistic heritage, the accessibility of art and cultural assets, in the conviction of the strong social power that art has, which is experienced and lived together.

Maurizio Cannavacciuolo (1954) and Claudio Massini (1955), both born in Naples, contemporaries, a history of long friendship, made up of interferences but not influences, between the 1970s and 1980s they shared Lucio Amelio’s gallery in Naples, a veritable centre of the contemporary art world of the time in Italy: on the occasion of this exhibition at Palazzo Collicola, they have therefore recalled each other.

The exhibition itinerary (a double solo show) unfolds along the ten rooms on the ground floor dedicated to temporary exhibitions. Cannavacciuolo and Massini are exhibiting 30 works (including a number of polyptychs) created from the late 1990s to the present day, mostly paintings on canvas, with Cannavacciuolo also exhibiting a large work of ceramic tiles (Sinestesia) as evidence of his openness to other “genres”, while Massini closes the exhibition with a photographic re-proposition of social art interventions carried out between 1974 and 1980, a period of research that oscillates between the anthropological and the popular and that took shape in a collective context such as the intervention carried out in Sant’Antimo in 1977 entitled La notte di Maggio Mellone.

The exhibition attempts to underline the different humoral and narrative aspects of their paths, which in Cannavacciuolo’s case are manifested with a sort of healthy irony, almost didactic, as a tender and ruthless observer who tries to make the spectator reflect through logical and visual traps, in Massini’s case with subtle and precise architectures made of balances, countless layers of colour, small utopias, orientalisms, polyptychs, empire-style recoveries and nostalgia, interweaving of constellations and hedonistic decorations.

Cannavacciuolo’s extravagant and impertinent visual rebuses in works such as Bubbles, Fire Zazazà!, Excelsior, Bored Sea Food vs Barbed Wire Family or Menina do Rio, calor que provoca arrepio are thus a perfect counterpoint to Massini’s dreamlike and frozen spaces in paintings such as Barcellonese, Riparo, Dall’alto e fuori or Architettura fatale, as they both swerve away from the current practice of modernity, tradition and contemporaneity.

Two painters, therefore, who are not marginal but complex and stratified, involuntary antagonists on the contemporary scene from which they stand out for their dense weave of meanings and references, hybridisations and references to other, international cultures and therefore part of a universal culture.

Presentation Saturday 18 December at 12,00 am

Throughout his life, American architect and designer Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) has always been imagining the future, as can be seen in his treatise Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth written in 1969. Themes such as sustainability, ecologism, energy problems and renewable sources are the basis of his thinking and his architectural structures, from the Dymaxion House to the Paperboard Domes and vehicles such as the Dymaxion car.

The most distinctive feature of his poetics, however, is undoubtedly the conception and creation of geodesic domes (for which Fuller holds the patent), extremely light and easy-to-construct buildings that he began designing in 1957 all over the world and which even inspired the name of a complex chemical molecule, the “fullerene“. So successful was he that the US Army commissioned him hundreds such structures for military installations.

Geodesic domes are structures made up of triangular, tubular and modular elements, which are joined at specific points to form polygons and can be covered with synthetic materials or lightweight roofing, This was the case of the so-called Spoletosfera (Fuller’s only geodesic dome in Italy), which was installed in 1967 on the occasion of the 10th Spoleto Festival of Two Worlds to a design by Fuller and Shoji Sadao (his Japanese architect collaborator) and built with the help of students from eight countries and local architects, the supervision of Giovanni Carandente and the contribution of the Southern Illinois University, the USA International Council of the Arts and the Alluminium Company of America. The inauguration was a great success in the presence of Fuller and with the performance of a real happening (two years later, Mario Ceroli and Claudio Cintoli would also perform happenings entitled Io and Rimbalzare).

Following an agreement between the City of Spoleto and the ‘Pietro Vannucci’ Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia (the two institutions already collaborated on the occasion of several exhibitions at Palazzo Collicola) and under the supervision of model-making professor Giuseppe Fioroni, a group of students reproduced, after surveys and measurements taken in situ, a 1:20 scale model of the Spoletosphere using carbon, glass and aluminium fibres, highlighting the construction principle based on interlocking and alternating hexagons and pentagons and the use of three different sizes of connecting rods. The work will be donated to the Palazzo Collicola museum after the end of the exhibition (a short video presentation by Vincenzo Alessandria was also made for the occasion).

In addition, a series of archive documents conserved at the Carandente Library are on display to the public for the first time. These include original design sketches with Fuller’s autograph technical indications, articles and magazines dedicated to him, photographs of the assembly and inauguration phases or models of other structures designed by the architect, as well as part of the correspondence between him and the Festival Of Two Worlds.

From 12 November 2021 to 6 March 2022 at the Rocca Albornoz – National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto, an itinerant exhibition that offers the unique opportunity to admire at the same time the monuments of the serial site ‘The Longobards in Italy. Places of power (568-774 AD)’, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for ten years.

The celebrations for the tenth anniversary of the serial site ‘The Longobards in Italy’ as UNESCO World Heritage continue with the travelling exhibition “Touching the Langobards first-hand“, which will be inaugurated on Friday 12 November at 3.30 p.m. at the Rocca Albornoz – National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto, after the stops in Ancona, Benevento and Monte Sant’Angelo.

The exhibition, which will be open until 6 March, has been organised in collaboration with the ‘Museo Tattile Statale Omero‘ of Ancona and financed by the Ministry of Culture in accordance with Law 77/2006. The aim of the exhibition is to raise awareness of the extraordinary nature and complexity of the UNESCO site through a tactile route and a range of different user options that facilitate understanding, ensuring an optimal multisensory experience for all.

Seven three-dimensional scale models of the architectural monuments most representative of the Lombard serial site and seven models of the areas in which the monuments are located will be on display in the rooms, allowing tactile exploration of their contexts of origin. To make the itinerary even more accessible there will be audio descriptions (in Italian and English), recorded by the actors of the Compagnia #SIneNOmine of the Casa di Reclusione di Maiano in Spoleto, to be listened to via NFC and QR code, as well as a catalogue in Braille and one in large print for free consultation. Finally, to allow for inclusive use of the models, videos have been made using the technique of compositing in LIS – Italian Sign Language, together with images and animations, subtitles and audio.

The exhibition ‘Touching the Longobards first-hand‘ allows visitors to get to know and “touch” the seven architectural excellences of the serial site ‘The Longobards in Italy. The places of power (568-774 AD)‘, which has been recognised by UNESCO for ten years. )’, which UNESCO recognised as a World Heritage Site ten years ago, an itinerary of the places of Longobard power that, in addition to the Basilica of San Salvatore in Spoleto includes: the Gastaldaga area and the Episcopal complex in Cividale del Friuli (Udine), the monumental area with the Monastery of San Salvatore – Santa Giulia in Brescia, the Castrum with the Tower of Torba and the Church of Santa Maria foris portas in Torba and in Castelseprio (Varese), the Tempietto del Clitunno in Campello sul Clitunno (Perugia), the Complex of Santa Sofia in Benevento and the Sanctuary of San Michele in Monte Sant’Angelo (Foggia).

The exhibition is curated by the Associazione Italia Langobardorum – the management structure of the serial site – which is part of the circuit of the 9th edition of the Biennial “Arteinsieme – culture and cultures without barriers”, a group of museums and places of culture that promote activities aimed at encouraging the participation of people with disabilities and special needs in general or from other cultures, enhancing the contemporary artistic heritage, the accessibility of art and cultural assets, in the conviction of the strong social power that art has, which is experienced and lived together.
