Massimo Campigli and the Etruscans: A pagan happiness

The exhibition brings together 35 works by Campigli, placed alongside about fifty archaeological finds from the Etruscan civilization, most of them undisclosed and here exposed for the first time.The deliberately archaic compositions realized by Campigli, well represented in the exhibition with paintings ranging from 1928 to 1966, rediscover the origin of their deeper inspiration in the displayed Etruscan finds, establishing with them a natural sharing of atmospheres, signs and colours.

The exhibition path is divided into different sections: the first one is dedicated to the human figure, divided into men and women; the second one to animals, made of birds, horses, wild animals and lastly the third one to shapes and geometries.
