  Giovanna Ricotta launches a series of exhibitions dedicated to Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, whose 500th anniversary is celebrated this year. The artist introduces a contraposition between the worlds of knights and ladies, just like the first verse of the poem: “Le donne, i cavallier, l’arme e gli amori”. Intense photographs portray the artist as a technological soldier as well as a Renaissance damsel, by creating a dialogue between the strong and elegant sides of a person. 46 new, unreleased drawings, as many as Ariosto’s cantos, enriches the exhibition.
