«Sull’isola del silenzio. Artisti trentini a Burano, 1909-1919»
The contribution of artists from Trento to the formation of the first Burano School is little known. The role of the painter Umberto Moggioli (Trento, 1886-Rome, 1919), in particular, was decisive in giving meaning to the choice of many to move from the clamour of the Lagoon (in the academic climate of consecrated art that the International Art Exhibition at the Giardini in Venice represented) to Burano.
The exhibition traces the intertwining of artistic and human relations that developed on the island in those years,' explains curator Roberta Bonazza, 'with a section devoted to some painters who, while working in Venice, struck up a friendship with Moggioli, and others who tried to carry on the poetics of the first Burano School even after the First World War and Moggioli's untimely death in 1919.
On show from 22 June to 6 October are works by Umberto Moggioli, Luigi Pizzini, Tullio Garbari, Attilio Lasta, Neno Mori, Juti Ravenna, Guido Polo, Augusto Sezanne, Pio Semeghini and Iras Baldessari.
