Leaving Casa Cavazzini (after having appreciated a fresco by Afro Basaldella on the walls of the same building, dedicated to the massacre of the Ardeatine graves), the art critic, accompanied by the councilor for Culture Fabrizio Cigolot, reached Palazzo D’Aronco where he met Mayor Pietro Fontanini: “We have laid the foundations for a couple of future projects: I would like to start a collaboration between the Mart of Rovereto, which I chair, and the Civic Museums of Udine.

And then I’d like to organize an exhibition in the city dedicated to Gianfranco Ferroni “, the painter of the” metacosa “protagonist of a solo show curated by Sgarbi and set up at the Palazzo Reale in Milan in 2007: one of his paintings,” I sitting in the dim room ” , is included in the path of “The shape of infinity”.
