Exhibition sheet by the organizers
The retrospective exhibition “Impressioni”, organized by the Pro Loco Pontelagoscuro as part of the “Living Together the River Po” project promoted by the Municipality of Ferrara and coordinated by the Vivere Insieme Committee, includes a dozen works dedicated to the Po, a tribute to the territory that Grande Fiume has linked every moment of the troubled existence, from the nebulous and mysterious origins of the first decades of the 11th century, to the glories of the era of trade, customs, the frontier and then of industrial and commercial development, up to the total destruction and oblivion of post-war reconstruction.
The Po, for better or for worse, has always marked the destinies of the Pontesan village, and its bridges, as an infrastructural power and a driving force for development, were also the cause of the terrible ruin caused by the bombings of 1944.
On the wall there will also be a dozen oil paintings on the theme of landscapes and rural life, captured with the technique dear to the impressionist artist.
Attached is a biographical card and pictorial anthology of Paolo Fabbri who was born in Saletta di Copparo on 10 February 1919.
