On the occasion of the celebrations of Unification of Italy, MLB Home Gallery invited two artists, who now live where the Kingdom of Piemonte-Sardegna existed once, to interpret the concept of “Risorgimento” in linkage with actuality. Now, Italy faces a new “Risorgimento”: spiritual and ethical. Paolo Bianchi and Fabio Pietrantonio perceived this widespread desire for regeneration and the exhibited works creates the necessity to go back to roots to recover primordial energies. Bianchi discovers a redeeming bond with tradition in a spectacular commemoration of the rituals of Ottana Carnival, in comparison with present causes for reflections, whereas Pietrantonio proposes a symbolic and powerful acupuncture for the planet.
The exhibition is realized in collaboration with the Assessorato alle Attività Produttive of the Comune di Ferrara.
