The exhibition entitled 'The Realism of Carlo Levi and Luigi Guerricchio', which was scheduled for 2020 in Matera and postponed due to the public health emergency, is now available in a virtual format, in line with the policy of many public museums and institutions. As a result, the artistic universe of the two authors can, as of now, be appreciated by a much wider audience.
Reading the volume and watching the documentary (only in Italian), guided by scholars and the curator of the exhibition and viewing the eight paintings on show, help us to understand the links between Levi, Guerricchio and the local area of Matera, on their journey in search of their roots.
Thus, the Bank has included a new and significant element in its objective of enhancing its own art collection, which is all the more important in a period like the current one. When the physical spaces for admiring works of art are shrinking or closing, online content continues to nurture the desire for knowledge and a passion for beauty, while we are waiting to return, soon, to experiencing art exhibitions in person.
