Mostra anche ‘digitale’ all’Archivio di Stato di Napoli.
Almost 40 masterpieces by Picasso to discover or rediscover in an immersive way, from 'Guernica' to 'Paulo dressed as Harlequin', from 'Woman lying reading' to 'Caffè da Royan', from 'Girl with a mandolin' to 'The Swimmer', together with approximately 120 documents on the exhibitions dedicated to the Spanish master set up in 1953 at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Rome and Palazzo Reale in Milan, which were opposed, due to the artist's civil commitment, 50 years after his death, and sparked a case involving the DC and PCI.
E’ il percorso di Pasión Picasso la mostra ad ingresso gratuito (a parte la sezione di approfondimento realizzata in realtà virtuale), che guida tra videoproiezioni immersive, effetti sonori e Vr nell’universo dell’artista, allestita dal 14 ottobre fino al 14 gennaio nei quattro bracci appositamente oscurati del Chiostro del Platano dell’State Archives of Naples. L’esposizione, sostenuta dalla Regione Campania, nell’ambito del POC 2014-2020, è realizzata in collaborazione con l’Ambasciata di Spagna a Roma, il Consolato Generale di Spagna a Napoli e il Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía e rientra tra le manifestazioni ufficiali internazionali del grande progetto congiunto dei governi di Spagna e Francia “Picasso Celebration 1973-2023”.

“Pasión Picasso is a tribute to the great Spanish painter and takes us back in time, to 1953, when Italy, having emerged from the war and become a Republic, began to look at the world and art with different, attentive eyes,” explains the Spanish Ambassador to Italy, Miguel Fernandez-Palacios at a press conference.
The State Archives of Naples – Ministry of Culture, for the exhibition Pasión Picasso, started from being the custodian of the Archives of Senator Eugenio Reale who 70 years ago had decided to bring Picasso's works to Italy for display. Drawing on his documents, the 1953 quarrel was reconstructed. "Together with the documents, we thought of digitally re-proposing the paintings exhibited in Milan and Rome", explains the director of the State Archives of Naples, Candida Carrino, asking the museums that own them for clearances for an immersive exhibition.
