HANDCRAFT AND ARTCRAFT: HEAD, HEART, HAND

I WAS ASKED TO CREATE AN EXHIBITION PROJECT ABOUT THE STORY OF ARTISTIC SCREEN PRINT AND THE ART OF THE FAMOUS VENETIAN MASTER FIORENZO FALLANI (THE FIRST ARTIST TO IMPORT IN ITALY THE MODERN TECHNICS OF ARTISTIC SCREEN PRINT, DIRECTLY FROM THE USA IN THE SIXSTIES).

THEN I WAS ASKED TO CREATE AND ORGANIZE A VERNISSAGE TO PUBLICLY PRESENT THE EXHIBITION PROJECT IN ORDER TO GAIN INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT AND PATRONAGE FOR THE EXHIBITION REALIZATION.
I INVOLVED IN THE ORGANIZATION OF BOTH THE PROJECTS (EXHIBITION AND VERNISSAGE) MY FRIEND, THE FAMOUS ART HISTORIAN, CRITIC AND CURATOR, STEFANO CECCHETTO.

THE EVENT, SET IN AN ANCIENT BUILDING IN VENICE (WHERE THE FALLANI’S HEADQUARTERS IS LOCATED), WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, EVEN IF SOME VIP GUESTS AND SUPPORTERS HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY INVITED.

THE FAMOUS ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATOR GIORGIO CAVAZZANO (FROM DISNEY) JOINED MASTER FIORENZO FALLANI AT THE EVENT TO PUBLICLY PREMIERE THE PRIVATE FALLANI ARCHIVES.

FOR THE VERNISSAGE, I ALSO CREATED A MUSIC SPECIAL MOMENT, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF THE ITALIAN FAMOUS COMPOSER FRANCESCO SARTORI (“CON TE PARTIRÒ” AND “IL CANTO DELLA TERRA” INTERPRETED BY ANDREA BOCELLI) AND THE ITALIAN TENOR FRANCESCO GROLLO.
