Cezanne Morandi in the "Villa of Masterpieces" on MANIFESTO12

The Magnani Rocca Foundation is hosting the Cézanne Morandi exhibition until 10 September. In the last of the three rooms set up with other works by important modern painters, for another month you can admire the Baigneurs masterpiece – oil on canvas from 1890 – loaned by the Pushkin Museum in Moscow; the magnificent paintings by Morandi, the favorite artist of the creator of the Foundation, Luigi Magnani, are a worthy setting for the picture.

“What fascinates me is the form, so much so that among the moderns I have chosen Cézanne and Morandi, who have no content”.
These are the words of Luigi Magnani in his last interview.

In this magical atmosphere there is the opportunity to visit the entire villa where you can discover among peacocks and water lilies some masterpieces painted by Durer, Titian and Burri which you can admire on the ground floor and first floor of the building.
