IN LUMINIS ORAS The shores of LightFrom May 16th to July 16th, Palazzo Guinigi hosts an exhibition of approximately forty works, including paintings in various formats and sculptures of various sizes, by Vito Tongiani. Some were created specifically for the occasion and are being exhibited for the first time.
A celebration of the artist in a powerful synthesis of his research, between emotional intensity and refined formal mastery.
A journey inspired by Turandot, feminine beauty, and the immortal universe of Giacomo Puccini, in a flowing dialogue with the elegance of Palazzo Guinigi. An evocative encounter between art, music, and architecture, where each work finds its place in this expansive, vibrant, and immersive narrative.
The figure of the woman emerges as a magnetic force, enigma and poetry, suspended between grace and power, between myth and contemporaneity.
An exhibition that celebrates, excites, and enchants: an exclusive cultural experience, designed for those who wish to be amazed by the beauty and evocative power of art.
Vito Tongiani He is an internationally renowned sculptor and admirer of Puccini, and this is not the first time he has paid homage to him with his works. He has created bronze statues, portraits, drawings, and engravings of this great composer.
"His devoted Giacomo Puccini” is the book published on the occasion of the centenary of his death in which the artist illustrates with his original etchings an unpublished autograph letter by Giacomo Puccini addressed to the publisher Giulio Ricordi.
His is the statue of Giacomo Puccini In Piazza Cittadella. On November 29, 1994, it was discovered amid the emotion of hundreds of people present, and that moment marked a turning point in the appreciation of the musician and heralded the reopening of the House Museum.
