"(1800s. From Canova to the Fourth State)"

This is the first major exhibition dedicated to Italian 19th century painting, a century during which our country was conquering the rest of Europe with the likes of Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, but still wasn't considered to excel culturally. The over 100 masterpieces to go on show at the Scuderie del Quirinale show how this century boasted a rich selection of interesting paintings. Artists such as Appiani, Palagi, Hayez and representatives of the Milanese Romantic School, the Macchiaioli (Fattori, Lega, Signorini) in Florence, the Vedutists of the Posillipo and Morelli School in Naples created works that were free of classical restrictions and who nourished themselves with ideas from the Risorgimento and Romanticism. These paintings showed everyday scenes and highlighted the existential unease of modern man.

Running Exhibition until March 2nd 2008
"Nostoi. Capolavori ritrovati"
Piazza del Quirinale, ROMA

The word "Nostos" in Greek signifies return. War heroes and art works are on show in the Gallery of Pope Alessandro VII. Stolen and removed from their original setting by unscrupulous merchants and then sold to museums around the world, these works have returned to Italy thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Carabinieri, the Judiciary and the Ministry for the Arts. Louis Godard is the curator of this show that contains pieces like Vibia Sabina, the Calyx Crater by Assteas, Antefix with Silene and dancing Menades made out of terracotta.

Running Exhibition till January 27th 2008
"Pop Art! 1956 - 1968"

Walter Guadagnini is the curator of the biggest exhibition to date dedicated to Pop Art, a cultural and artistic movement that represented the West through unforgettable images such as the Marilyn silk-screens by Andy Warhol and the Coca Cola logo. The show is divided into four sections: the first is dedicated to the object as merchandise, its essence rendered and summarised in the logo; the second section focuses on the stars and personalities of the time, such as astronauts Joe Tilson and Derek Boshier; the third section is dedicated to communication channels and forms of expression of popular culture such as the cartoon; the fourth is about sex and the body as an erotic entity. Pop art is art that collides – inevitably – with mass media; it offers a document of society and of the spirit that pervaded the era.

Running Exhibition till September 2nd 2007

Running Exhibition till June 10th 2007

ANTONELLO DA MESSINA

"ITALIA-RUSSIA ATTRAVERSO I SECOLI. DA GIOTTO A MALEVIC. LA RECIPROCA MERAVIGLIA"
SCUDERIE DEL QUIRINALE, ROMA

Two geographically distant countries meet and compare each other thanks to the odd and complex world that forms and gives life to arts here represented by painting. This is the main theme of the Automn exhibition which has been opened at Scuderie del Quirinale with works by Giotto representing Italian Pre-Renaissance , and by Malevic ,one of the most important figure of Russian avant-gardes. Almost ninetey invaluable works like Rublev and Dionisij icons, and Chagall and Kandinskij paintings are present at the exhibition thanks to many Russian museums, which for the first time , have consented to lend them. The exhibition is devided into four sections In the first one, the title of which, is In principio era Bisanzio are present Russian icons. They tell the art history of a country, which, through images, has chosen to explain it by using symbolism and religious teaching ; in juxtaposition with that , we can see the experimental path of Italian artists like Giotto, Coppo di Marcovaldo, Duccio di Boninsegna. In the second section, Verso le identità moderne, works of our Renaissance to Baroque are shown (Mantegna, Guido Reni, Domenico Fetti, Pietro da Cortona, and so on..); and besides them, we can admire the Russian artists skill in describing sacred images. The historical turning point can be seen during Peter the Great time (here represented in the section L'età dei Lumi , who, through a political and cultural action , gathers Italian artists and architects in St. Petersburg Court. Their works are present in many important Russian private collections. In the section Il secolo della borghesia. Dal Romanticismo al Simbolismo and in Sfide della modernità fra democrazia e pensiero we can see the ultimate and crucial union between the two cultures looking with interest and curiosity at Europe.
