THE EXHIBITIONS:
ROME
louise nevelson
Through the display of over 70 works, of which the basic nucleus comes from the Marconi Foundation, the exhibition tells in an emblematic way the artistic activity of Louise Nevelson, considered one of the most illustrious artists of the Second World War.
The exhibition itinerary brings together drawings and terracottas from the XNUMXs, the period in which her artistic career began, and the marvelous sculptures of the following decades, with the aim of underlining how Nevelson's work has significantly marked the evolution of American art of the XNUMXth century. His artistic production, in fact, ranks among those experiences which, after the historical avant-gardes of the twentieth century, in particular Futurism and the Dada movement, have made use of fragments and objects recovered from the everyday context with compositional intentions.
SIENA
Caravaggio's Saint John the Baptist
MILAN
Robert Doisneau. Paris en liberté
The exhibition features over 200 original photographs, taken by Doisneau in the Ville Lumière between 1934 and 1991.
The exhibition itinerary, organized by thematic areas, retraces the subjects most dear to him, and takes the visitor on an exciting walk in the gardens of Paris, along the Seine, through the streets of the center and the suburbs, and then in the bistros, in the fashion ateliers and art galleries in the French capital.
On display, you can admire some of his most famous masterpieces, including the "Kiss of the Hotel de Ville”, which has become the most recognizable icon of his art.
The exhibition arrives at the Spazio Oberdan in Milan, after being presented in Paris at the Hotel de Ville, in Japan at the Mitsukoshi in Tokyo, at the Isetan Museum in Kyoto and in Rome.
TURIN
Robert Capucci. The quest for royalty
A unique opportunity to marvel at 50 dresses created by the great stylist Roberto Capucci specifically for queens, stars and ladies of the "big world" from the XNUMXs to today.
No one like Capucci has sought the representation of "royalty" by modeling garments that are authentic "fabric sculptures", presented in the exhibition together with sketches, photos, films and stories about their historical moments and the celebrities who have worn them.
To appear at the height of splendor and solemnity, the princesses Borghese, Odescalchi and Colonna, the actresses Valentina Cortese and Silvana Mangano, the opera singer Raina Kabajvanska, international stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Esther Williams and the Nobel prize for medicine Rita Levi Montalcini: their clothes represent a fascinating journey through the second half of the twentieth century on the theme of fashion and luxury, reconstructing the creative itinerary of one of the masters of world fashion.

MUSIC:
ROME
Nude Music – Pietra and Ferruccio Spinetti
An extraordinary duo capable of making its strings resonate like and more than a large orchestra. Between instinct and freedom, the meeting between Petra Magoni (vocals) and Ferruccio Spinetti (double bass) has produced many records and many concerts in ten years, with an amazing following of fans. Between song, experimentation, virtuosity and lightness, Musica Nuda proposes, for this special evening, a sound journey and a tribute to American song. The halls of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni will resound with music never heard before.
Palazzo delle Esposizioni – Sala Rotonda

THEATER:
MILAN
La Scala Theater Academy Ballet School – directed by Frédéric Olivieri
The appointment with the institutional show takes on a special flavor as it begins the celebrations for the bicentenary of the foundation of the Ballet School. Two hundred years of history for an institution capable of making the dreams of hundreds of young dancers come true by opening the doors to dance at the highest level.
Three essential moments: the choreographic presentation, conceived by Frédéric Olivieri, which involves all the students; Paquita by Marius Petipa on music by Ludwig Minkus, a great romantic ballet in which the thwarted love between the gypsy Paquita and the officer Lucien d'Hervilly reaches a happy ending; Gaîté parisienne suite, created by Maurice Béjart in 1978 brings to life the sparkling atmospheres of Paris in the second half of the 800th century. Strongly autobiographical, the ballet tells the story of a young man who, having moved to Paris to study dance, finds a very strict teacher from whom he runs away seeking solace in a world of fantasy.
Little Strehler Theater
from April to 28 4 May 2013
TURIN
Family games
Escaping from the places where one was born and raised, escaping from an identity one has not chosen and with which one is forced to confront: this is one of the favorite themes of the Serbian writer Biljana Srbljanovic, author of Family Games. His pièce takes place in the degraded suburbs of any European city and tells of four children who play at being adults; and it is precisely by adhering to the wickedness of the world around them that these children come to commit extreme acts, an expression of the brutality inherent in every man. Some of them play, wearing clothes that are too loose and using gestures and words far from childish language: they are violent, sometimes disturbing.
Teatro Stabile
until the 28 April
