“The exhibition set up last winter in the historic rooms of Palazzo Candelpergher, seat of the Municipality of Nogaredo, finds a further continuation in the large spaces of the noble residence of Maso Spilzi in Folgaria, a rare example of eighteenth-century fortified architecture in which the popular imagination places one of the places where the echo of the harsh and penetrating voice of the mythical witch Brava Part reached, coming from the cave-dwelling on the tormented path of the Rio Cavallo/Rosspach – writes Degasperi – Here is presented a selection of the works taken from the rich collection of the Cassa Rurale , increased by works by artists who work or have worked in the Cimbrian plateau, or who have their origins or spend their daily lives here. The exhibition is also an opportunity to come into contact with unpublished works by artists and sculptors who have made mountain culture one of their primary visual interests. The many painters and sculptors present offer an individual and particular look at nature, both figurative and abstract, in the awareness that shapes, volumes and spaces are elements that contribute to presenting a continuous and renewed relationship with what lies outside we. Therefore not only an art that portrays the world but also an art that seeks to interpret the events of the heart and soul in relation to new feelings of nature”.

The exhibition will be open to visitors until Sunday 7 July. Hours: Saturday and Sunday 10am-12pm and 3pm-6pm. From Tuesday 2nd to Friday 5th July also open midweek from 3pm to 6pm.
