The event
Marco Antonio Bazzocchi guides us through the intimate and quiet world of Giorgio Morandi, reconstructing the memory of a space crucial to his life and vision: the flat at Via Fondazza 36 in Bologna, where the painter lived and worked with his sisters from 1930 until his death in 1964.
Not today’s museum, but the house as it was: the private and secret life of the studio, the objects, the kitchen, the light, the feminine and masculine spaces, the spirit of a suspended era.
With the participation of the actress Marinella Manicardi.
Marco Antonio Bazzocchi
Born in 1961, he teaches Contemporary Italian Literature and Literature of the Romantic Age at the University of Bologna. He has written several books on Pier Paolo Pasolini, including Alfabeto Pasolini (Carocci), and Con gli occhi di Artemisia. Roberto Longhi e la cultura italiana (il Mulino, 2021).
