Due Sguardi del Novecento

Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
From 1st to 5th November 2026, the Angevin Castle of Gallipoli hosts an exhibition exploring the relationship between shadow and body in the works of Giorgio De Chirico and Marino Marini, two masters of Italian 20th century. The exhibition follows a thematic rather than chronological path, presenting works from private collections. On one side, De Chirico with his enigmatic squares, oblique architectures and mannequins suspended in time, where shadows evoke a mysterious memory. On the other, Marini restores concreteness to the body with his graphic work, horses and knights embodying energy and vulnerability. In both artists, the ancient becomes a tool to interpret history and the human archetype.
Original text in Italian
Dal 1° al 5 novembre 2026, il Castello Angioino di Gallipoli ospita una mostra che indaga il rapporto tra ombra e corpo nelle opere di Giorgio De Chirico e Marino Marini, due maestri del Novecento italiano. L'esposizione segue un percorso tematico piuttosto che cronologico, presentando opere provenienti da collezioni private. Da un lato la De Chirico con le sue piazze enigmatiche, architetture oblique e manichini sospesi nel tempo, dove le ombre evocano una memoria misteriosa. Dall'altro Marini restituisce concretezza al corpo con il suo lavoro grafico, cavalli e cavalieri che incarnano energia e vulnerabilità. In entrambi gli artisti l'antico diventa uno strumento per interpretare la storia e l'archetipo umano.
