At Casa Testori
Four young scholars presented the results of their research on various aspects of Giovanni Testori’s multifaceted figure — spanning art, theater, and literature.
The afternoon continued with the screening of two rediscovered art documentaries, followed by Marta Ossoli presenting, in preview, the new version of Cleopatràs, later staged at Teatro Litta starting December 13.
Later the same day, at 6:00 PM, two new exhibitions opened:
Testori 1945
Paintings and drawings — some never before exhibited — from a crucial year in Testori’s artistic journey.
Curated by Davide Dall’Ombra
The Open (L’aperto)
Aleksander Velišček, winner of the 2013 Mariuccia Paracchi Prize, returned to Casa Testori to present his new and striking portrait of Giovanni Testori in an evocative installation.
Curated by Marta Cereda
