Barnaba Fornasetti, Artistic Director of Atelier Fornasetti, organized with Valeria Manzi, President of the Fornasetti Cult Association, and Simone Verde, Director of Palazzo Pilotta, this magnificent exhibition, is a real journey between past and present, classicism and modernity.
With humor and mastery, the themes dear to the Fornasetti are revisited, who use architecture, music and everyday objects to create this unique universe full of symbols and nostalgia. Their lunar characters reproduced on endless plates seem to follow the waltz of visitors with their eyes in a timeless space. The great serpent ripples on the steps of the staircase, playing with invitation and temptation.
The palm of a hand maps the landscape of a lifetime and the naked bodies of ancient statues laugh at the gaps in time in a mythical wall.
An exhibition where fantasy rhymes with the dreamlike, a delight for the eyes and the soul to make eyes and hearts throb in unison in a disturbing and delicious thrill.
