With the arrival of summer, Imola Musei announces a rich program of events that will take place between 15 June and 8 September in the Cloister of the San Domenico Museum (via Sacchi, 4) and in Palazzo Tozzoni (via Garibaldi, 18 and viale Rivalta, 93). ‘Summer evenings at the museums’ is the title of the exhibition, now in its third edition, which includes eleven events to travel through art and history, with an eye towards the future.
The fifteenth-century cloister of the San Domenico Museum, with the elegant upper loggia with arches, will be the protagonist of summer evenings at the museum with conferences, concerts and evening guided tours of the museum collections. Palazzo Tozzoni will, however, open its doors for special events in the light of the lampshades and precious crystal chandeliers and will host an exhibition dedicated to the Imola sculptor Cincinnato Baruzzi.
The cycle dedicated to the ‘Encounters’ in the Cloister of the San Domenico Museum will open on Saturday at 9.30 pm with the conference ‘The sanctuary of the origins. Updates on the excavation of the former Modernissimo cinema in Imola’ with Valentina Manzelli, archaeologist official of the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts, Landscape of Bologna. The event takes place as part of the GEA, European Archeology Days.
