There will also be the work “Horses at a Sea Cove” by Giorgio De Chirico created in the early 1960s at the Cortona in Arte event. This is just one of the gems of the event dedicated to contemporary art that will open its doors on Saturday at the Sant’Agostino conference center. Now in its fourth edition, “Cortona in Arte” is sponsored by the Municipality of Cortona and organized by Cortona Sviluppo with the support of the Galleria de’ Bonis and the Banca Popolare di Cortona. It will be open until September 29 every day from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:30 to 19:00. It is led by Marilena Visconti, general director of the exhibition. This year Cortona hosts two internationally renowned artists: Maurizio Gabbana, creator of Dynamica Spazio-Temporale, photographs that provide metaphysical glimpses, and the artist Giovanni Cristini, creator of the project “Cristini United”, independent geometric figures, united to create forms. Also on display are three solo exhibitions with the presence of Josè Barranchini, Paolo Rigoni, and Diego Rudellin.
Among the artists present is also an oncologist Marilena Visini, who to face a “rough” job, as she defines it, began to paint “the eternal carousel of life”. Over 20 other artists will also be present at the event. On the occasion of the inauguration, Saturday at 4:30 pm, there will be a grand gala with the presence of Maurizio Gabbana and Giovanni Cristini. There will also be a performance by the singer Angelica Engy Perroni and the live “Archetipo umana” by Monica Argentino, creator of Body To Art (extemporaneous painting on the human body, video installation and music), an artistic project that aims to represent the body free from beauty stereotypes. Presented by the journalist Patrizia Mari. “In the realization of this project I was driven by the strong and firm will to reconstruct a moment of collective reunion – underlines Visconti – and to promote all that is polemical, fascinating, paradoxical and harmonious, art has to offer us with its being polytropic and eclectic, not reducing it, and therefore limiting it, to any movement or current, but giving a synoptic vision, so as to transmit its enormous potential, together with that of Italy, its people, Tuscany and Cortona, with its disconcerting charm”.
