A Journey Through the History of Art
The exhibition, curated by Massimo Bignardi, aims to highlight the value and significance of bronze sculpture in the history of Italian art. The works on display are small bronzes created by contemporary artists at Pietro Caporrella's Roman foundry from the 1980s to the present. Among the artists featured are names such as Arman, Enrico Baj, and Tommaso Cascella, whose work is displayed in the rooms of the Galleria dei Frati.
Pietro Caporrella's Contribution and the Value of the 'Bronzetto'
Pietro Caporrella, retracing the history of his foundry, emphasized how his work has always focused on two objectives: meeting the expressive needs of artists and containing costs to make bronze casting more accessible. The exhibition represents a reflection on the meaning and value of the "bronzetto" and how it occupied a significant position in Italian sculpture over the past century. Among the works on display are contributions from artists such as Daniel Spoerri, Enrico Baj, and Agostino Bonalumi, who have enriched the artistic experience with new experimentations and techniques. The exhibition will be open to the public until Sunday, March 23, 2025.
