RUSSIAN PAINTING IN THE BACKGROUND OF EMILIA-ROMAGNA (2006)

Movie №68540, 1 film, Duration: 0:26:53

Annotation:

In the province of Emilia-Romagna, not far from the small town of San Pietro in Casale, in an endless cornfield there is a house. This typical old Italian house houses one of the most significant collections of modern Russian painting in Italy. The creator of this collection is an ordinary Italian businessman Pierluigi Selmi, who has nothing to do with art by occupation. Several years ago, having arrived in Moscow and visited an exhibition of paintings by modern Russian artists, Pierluigi unexpectedly for himself fell in love with art. Since then, he has not only bought works by Russian artists for his collection. He regularly organizes exhibitions and vernissages of works by Russian artists, and also invites them and their families to his place to introduce them to Italy. Thus, Mr. Selmi's love for Russian art has given Italians the opportunity to get acquainted not only with painting, but also with artists from Russia. And for Russian artists, this became not only a pleasant acquaintance with contemporary Italian colleagues, but also a kind of school (it was not without reason that the tsarist government gave gold medalists of the Academy of Arts a stipend to continue their studies in Italy), and an opportunity to personally appreciate the full scale and beauty of Italian art.
