1950s and 60s on show in Nuoro

Experiencing a stay in Sardinia also means being able to retrace its history and culture: the art exhibition held in Nuoro, until 29 May 2011, is an invitation to get closer to the second post-war period, through the eyes and feelings of the authors which have found expression in these productions.

It is about more than 40 works belonging to the Rome Galleria d'Arte Moderna (Gallery of Modern Art), which are a means to look out on the Italian society of the past half century: the anxieties, hopes, strengths and disappointments, filtered through the consciousness of individuals. One reason that urges to relive the roots of its historical past.

Ingrao exhibition in Cagliari

On 15 March 2011 in Cagliari, the Municipal Gallery of Art is hosting an exhibition of paintings and sculptures formerly owned by Francesco Paolo Ingrao: over two hundred works spread among many rooms, which offer a broad overview of art at the turn of the century, clearly showing its development.

Donated to the city by the heirs of the collector, these works are just some of many treasures of art and culture, kept and preserved, making a holiday in Sardinia attractive, well beyond the merits of the natural landscape. Not just the tourists looking for relaxation and fun, but also the culture-aholics may find satisfaction in it.
