The exhibition opens its doors on Saturday at the MAF Archaeological Museum of Forlimpopoli “Traces” of the painter Carlo Cola: born in Cesena, but has long been a Forlimpopolise by adoption, the artist returns to one of his recurring themes, the house, or perhaps it would be better to say the houses, as an intimate and evocative place: with his painting warm and sumptuous, in his works Cola wants to tell the stories of those who lived in places that were once lively and popular; places full of traces. Is titled “Nostalgia for the future in Capri” the exhibition of the painter Miria Malandri which opens its doors on Saturday in the “Mario Bertozzi” Exhibition Hall in Forlimpopoli: the exhibition is inspired by the film ‘Capri revolution’ by Mario Martone released in 2018: the director took inspiration from the story of the German painter Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach, who in 1914 founded a rebel community on the island involving other young artists from Northern Europe and Russia. Personal exhibition of nature photography by Fabio Savini “Misunderstood charm – Photographic exhibition on Amphibians and Reptiles” at the Spinadello – Participatory Visitor Center: amphibians and reptiles, as happens with the unknown, are often feared and misunderstood creatures; yet they are animals that can be useful to humans and some species are indicators of the health status of the habitats in which they live.
