La seduzione del classico al Palazzo Reale di Palermo

adnkronos

(Adnkronos) - Sincretica fusione tra la Fondazione Federico II di Palermo e la Pinacoteca di Brera che suggella l’incontro tra due mondi apparentemente lontani legati indissolubilmente dall’arte. Capolavori scultorei di Canova, Pandiani, Magni e Spertini, esposti negli “Appartamenti Reali” del Palazzo Reale di Palermo, innescano emozioni grazie alle radici classiche dell’arte scultorea. La rassegna che prende il nome “La Grande Brera al Palazzo Reale di Palermo. La seduzione del classico in mostra”, invita i visitatori a un viaggio nel mondo del Neoclassicismo lombardo con opere che non si allontanano da Milano da ben 122 anni. La ricchezza delle decorazioni del Palazzo Reale entra, come in un gioco, tra la purezza delle sculture e la cromaticità dei luoghi espositivi.

00:00Art is also seduction, as well as beauty.

00:07The Federico II Foundation, now a point of reference in the Sicilian cultural world,

00:12has made a synergy with the Pinacoteca di Breva,

00:15being able to move, after 122 years,

00:18some sculptural masterpieces from Lombardy to Palermo,

00:21in the splendid halls of the Royal Palace.

00:24This great synergy between the Federico II Foundation and the Pinacoteca di Breva,

00:28I would like to thank Angelo Crespi for allowing this to happen.

00:34After 122 years, the works leave the Pinacoteca di Breva

00:38to take root here in Sicily, at the Federico II Foundation,

00:41in our magnificent Royal Palace.

00:43We can admire the two works of Maestro Antonio Canova

00:46and three works of renowned artists of Neoclassicism,

00:49such as Giovanni Pandiani, Pietro Magni and Giovanni Spertini.

00:53There are few sculptures that determine the possibility

01:00of the tourist or even of the citizen

01:04to see again their own cultural heritage,

01:08such as the Palace and the Palatine Chapel,

01:11illuminated by other works of just as much beauty of different eras.

01:17This is often done also with contemporary art.

01:20We are currently doing it with incredible sculptures of Lombard Neoclassicism,

01:26but the main reason is to give light to cultural heritage

01:31through small but important valorizations.

01:35In fact, a 3D reproduction of Antonio Canova's vestal has been made,

01:40dedicated to visitors with visual disabilities.

01:43We have reproduced an opera of Canova's vestal

01:47with a one-to-one scale for the blind and the sighted,

01:52who will be able to appreciate it in a completely different way.

01:57A tangible result, already visible in real apartments,

02:01capable of uniting worlds apparently far away,

02:04with a particular regard for the blind and the sighted.

02:07I do not hide from you that here we are talking about one of the magnificent places

02:12of eternal Roman beauty,

02:16with a strong sense of identity,

02:20and therefore we would like to do something that can be our hospitality,

02:25of cultural goods available in Sicily.

02:30An event of the sign of symbolic value and cultural unity that unites the whole country,

02:36as underlined and sub-secretary to culture Gianmarco Mazzi.

02:40This is a virtuous example of valorization,

02:43which puts in relation two very important institutions,

02:47two very important territories.

02:50These works have not left Milan for more than a hundred years

02:54and they arrive in Sicily and for us of the Ministry it is a reason of great satisfaction.
