The Italy of exhibitions: here are the most beautiful of autumn

Lots of photography, but also contemporary art, important anniversaries and some great classics which always fascinates: in the coming months the exhibitions scheduled around Italy will really please everyone. And it starts immediately, even before the summer is over: the task of inaugurating the 2021/2022 exhibition season is up to Maurits Cornelis Escher and his hypnotic paintings, which from 9 September will be visible at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa. With over two hundred works, it promises to be the largest and most complete monographic ever dedicated to the Dutch artist.

And then, it was said, a lot of photography: you go from the images captured on the tennis courts by Martin Parr to black and white of Ferdinando Scianna, which in his career he has portrayed Sciascia and Borges, gives Pier Paolo Pasolini (next year we will celebrate the hundredth anniversary of birth) to the kisses – but not only – of Robert Doisneau, protagonist of the exhibition at Palazzo Roverella in Rovigo… and to think that photography was only a hobby for him!

Instead, the major exhibitions scheduled at the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome and at the Palazzo Reale in Milan focus on Dante and Impressionism.. In the capital the year of the celebrations of the seven hundred years since the death of the poet ends with a large exhibition dedicated to Dante’s Hell: from the Middle Ages to the present day, the works on display investigate the iconography of the damned, leading the visitor into the circles of hell, paintings or (sadly) become real. But luckily Claude Monet thinks to lift our spirits: the paintings on loan from the Musée Marmottan in Paris to the Royal Palace in Milan, his beloved water lilies, landscapes, light, water and nature are truly a balm for the soul.

Space also for contemporary art, with Jeff Koons arriving in Florence to shine (Shine is the title of the exhibition that will bring to Palazzo Strozzi a selection of works by the American artist who has inaugurated a new way of making art) and Alighiero Boetti: exhibited at the Tornabuoni in Milan the works of the collection of Salman Ali, who for over twenty years was an assistant and a soldier friend of the Turin artist, met in 1971 in Kabul.
