On the occasion of the All Saints’ Bridge, we offer you 5 new interesting ones exhibitions not to be missed in the long weekend that awaits us. An artistic review around Italy for anyone wishing to escape from everyday life during this bridge.
5 exhibitions to see during the All Saints’ Bridge
1. Antonio Ligabue and his world – Bard
Among the exhibitions to visit, the one at the Forte di Bard which houses 95 works that browse the entire artistic path of Ligabue, from the end of the 1920s to 1962, when, due to a paresis, Ligabue was forced to interrupt his activity until to 1965, the year of his death.
The intent of Sandro Parmiggiani, curator of the exhibition, is to invite the public to grasp the different expressive tools that have seduced and tested Ligabue’s genius, with very high results in every technique.
2. Giovanni Boldini. The look in the soul – Bologna
One of the most interesting exhibitions is the one on Boldini. On the occasion of the ninetieth anniversary of his death in Paris in 1931, the setting of Palazzo Albergati in Bologna with over 90 works, hosts an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to Giovanni Boldini. The feminine charm, the sumptuous and rustling dresses, the Belle Époque, the lounges: this is the overwhelming world of Giovanni Boldini, a genius of painting who more than any other was able to restore the rarefied atmosphere of an extraordinary era. Literature and fashion, music and luxury, art and bistro merge into the sensual rhythm of can can and produce an extraordinary social and civil rebirth.

3. To see the stars again – Padova
“A riveder le stelle” is one of the exhibitions not to be missed. An exhibition of contemporary art curated by Barbara Codogno created on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri that the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Padua organizes from 30 October 2021 to 31 January 2022 in the rooms intended for the temporary exhibitions of the Museum Eremitani, in collaboration with Antonio Menon’s “The Bank Contemporary Art Collection”. The dialogue finds evidence in the contemporary visual language thanks to the works of the Bassano collector who has gathered together the most celebrated names in the Italian figurative pictorial panorama.
4. Frida Kahlo. The Experience – Eyes that do not see Heart that does not feel – Bologna
Among the most anticipated exhibitions, the one on Frida Kahlo. The exhibition presents the life of Frida Kahlo, characterized by a difficult physical condition and at the same time by a strong ability to react and resilience in the face of adversity. Frida has been able to transform her immobility into opportunity and her suffering into an energy that has made her immortal, a true icon of the contemporary world. The path investigates all phases of the artist’s life through a unique, exciting and revealing selection of photographs. Along the way there are reconstructions of the rooms dear to the artist in which clothes and jewelry will also be exhibited.
5. The smile and the look of Alda Merini – Ravenna
Last, but not least, among the exhibitions to see at the weekend, the one on Alda Merini. A solo exhibition by Giuseppe Nicoloro with a critical text by Dino Silvestroni. A review of photographs that, through the look and the smile, allow you to capture the mood of Alda Merini in private situations, in meditation with herself, in public appearances, in the relationship with other people. The reference context of the images varies from the private house on the Navigli in Milan (early nineties) to the dressing room of the Teatro Filodrammatici, to the stage of other theaters or television studios, to the environments of cultural events (2000s).
