On Saturday 8 June at the Museum Center at 6.00 pm two precious catalogs will be presented to remember the Montefiorano painter Adolfo De Carolis at the end of the exhibition of his drawings in red pencil (catalogued as sanguine) and preserved at the Adolfo De Carolis Museum in the Museum Center of San Francesco and donated by the heir family. A selection curated to enhance the refinement of the pencil mark and the link with Michelangelo’s themes of physicality and the proportion of the enveloping forms of the nudes, which anticipate the great mural work of the Salone dei Quattromila in Bologna, to which the permanent exhibition is entirely dedicated in the Montefiore Hall of Aso.
In a spirit of continuity across the centuries, fascinated by an artist from the past who could dialogue with the present and its evolutionary dynamics and structures, the team of Loredana Finicelli, professor of History of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts of Frosinone and Ilaria Cruciani, Councilor for Culture for the Municipality of Montefiore dell’Aso involved the contemporary artist from Petritolo Marco Monaldi who, for the occasion, interwoven pencil studies of purely male nudes with a single study work of female nudes. On a basis of research also aimed at the example of Michelangelo, Monaldi is good at completing bodies with nuances, recalling their sinuous movement, the profound, albeit precarious today, human balance.
Supported by Stefano Papetti, shared with the Marche Region, the Mayor Porrà and the municipal administration of Montefiore dell’Aso, this exhibition is a joy for the culture of the territory, it involves our origins, it places the History of Art on a thread of continuity, creating dialogue between two artists who do not know each other, but become accomplices thanks also to the architecture of the place where the exhibition, or exhibitions, are set up. Two rooms, those inside the Former Slaughterhouse Area in the San Francesco Museum Complex, which speak to each other through the communicating walls and arches. The bodies are in their respective time, but they manage to look at each other, intimately. It is worth underlining the patronage of the Academy of Fine Arts of Frosinone, directed by Loredana Rea and where Loredana Finicelli currently teaches, as a strong point to which the municipal institute of Montefiore and Councilor Cruciani link a relationship of trust and academic value, guaranteeing mutual and authoritative support that will last over time.
