Friday, February 25, 2011, the Province of Palermo and the Swan GG edition, presents the exhibition "Piero Guccione WORKS MONUMENTAL.

The exhibition, organized with the contribution of Fondazione Mediterraneo Rome, and set up inside the main floor of Palazzo Sant'Elia in Palermo, for the first time gathers together the preparatory studies and the most important achievements public Piero Guccione. This is the big oil, commissioned the artist by the then president of the Senate Marcello Pera, who stands in the Hall of Garibaldi Palazzo Madama in Rome, the so-called "transatlantic" of senators. The exhibition also features two blades that adorn the magnificent Chapel of the Baptistery of the official church of the Italian state, or St. Mary of the Angels and Martyrs in Rome, inaugurated by Antonio Paolucci, director of the Vatican Museums, who writes the work "is a masterpiece of this century should be able to use the figurative tradition with the same ease with which we use the literary language, a tool of communication that we know to have been built by Dante and Petrarch and Bembo by Manzoni and yet we need to express ideas and values, feelings and passions of our time. This is the difficult path he has chosen to walk Piero Guccione, in dealing with religious subjects. The risky operation, on the verge of rashness, yielded fascinating results. "

Finally, the work commissioned by the Region to celebrate 150 years of Italian unification and independence, located in the hall of the Palazzo Abatellis Triumph of Death is ideally part of this process, which should link to just Palazzo Sant'Elia Sicilian Regional Gallery. This exhibition comes to understand how Guccione These monumental canvases to paint, with the exposure of the preparatory studies. It is also interesting because it can be seen, for example, the canvas of the Senate Guccione has used the creation of a recording on which he then battered the different variations that will deepen, and the work of building has been designed with Abatellis a work on canvas, of momentum.

Of great interest also display magnification of the places where he paints Guccione, and the artist himself, with various characters who frequent it. The exhibition is curated by Francesco Gallo Mazzeo, critic and professor of art history at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and Mario Ursino, Vice Superintendent of the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome. Inauguration of the President of the Province of Palermo, Giovanni Avanti and Alderman Regional Cultural Heritage and Identity of Sicily, Sebastiano Missineo.
