And in the year of the Universal Forum of Cultures, the capital of Campania choose to pay homage to the masterpiece of Dante’s Divine Comedy, setting up an exhibition of paintings in the magical setting of Castel dell ‘Ovo July 18 to 31.
The festival, created by Vanni Rinaldi, among contemporary artists of greater prominence, aims to tackle the world’s great Florentine poet narrandolo in its entirety and complexity, playing in an original three hundred poems and songs that make up the poem, through paintings from which emanates a true visionary sensibility, which passes through echoes surrealistic or informal suggestions and still ranges from “Nouvelle Figuration” at the so-called existential realism.
