Imagined Architecture. Drawings from the Collections of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini

The exhibition presents a selection of the most beautiful and representative pieces taken from these collections. The aim is to offer examples and illustrate ways of thinking on architectural drawing as a conceptual and design stage for painted architecture. At the same time, the exhibition documents some of the developments of the Bolognese school and tradition, which, in terms of continuity, variety and quality of results achieved, can very eff ectively represent the evolution of a genre that was popular in Italian and European art in the 17th and 18th centuries.
