The exhibition “D’Annunzio: Dream and Color,” currently taking place at the Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera, is nearing its end. This showcase celebrates the figure of Gabriele D’Annunzio through the works of painter Vincenzo Maugeri, offering a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the visual poetry inspired by the life of the Poet. Visitors will be able to admire Maugeri’s 13 evocative canvases until March 2.
A Journey Through Art and Poetry
The large poster announcing the exhibition is displayed on the façade of Villa Mirabella, creating a captivating atmosphere. The works present significant moments from D’Annunzio’s life, inviting poetic reflection that intertwines with the collective imagination surrounding his persona. Among the themes explored is the concept of an “ideal Parnassus,” where poets like Dante and other illustrious spirits dwell in a magical place, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the relics of saints.
The Works on Display
The canvases offer a visual reinterpretation of the poetry of Italo Benedetti, enriching the experience with evocative images such as “The Flying Poet” among the fiery rooftops of Vienna and “Immortal Web,” which narrates the romantic entanglements with Eleonora Duse. Each piece seems to capture the essence of the author, conveying strong emotions through vibrant colors and bold compositions.
Upcoming Events at the Vittoriale
Although the exhibition is coming to a close, the Vittoriale degli Italiani will continue to be a vibrant cultural hub. March 8 will mark the beginning of the celebrations for Spring 2025, featuring special events dedicated to “La Nave Puglia” and three new exhibitions planned. This venue will remain a meeting point for lovers of culture and poetry.
Therefore, the invitation is to seize the opportunity to visit this exhibition before it concludes; you can experience an immersive journey into the fascinating world of Gabriele D’Annunzio until March 2 at the Vittoriale degli Italiani.
