Regina. Sperimentatrice geniale

A protagonist of the 20th century at MANLo

The exhibition "Regina. Sperimentatrice geniale" is set up at the National Archaeological Museum of Lomellina (MANLo), housed in the Castello Visconteo Sforzesco of Vigevano, in Piazza Ducale 20, in the Province of Pavia. The exhibition celebrates Regina Cassolo Bracchi, a prominent figure in 20th-century Italian art and one of the few female sculptors of the Futurist movement.

108 works in four sections

The exhibition brings together 108 works — 41 sculptures and about 65 drawings and collages — divided into four thematic sections: a biographical and educational introduction to the artist, her innovative use of materials, her personal adherence to Futurism, and her relationship with nature through her herbariums. The exhibition thus conveys the complexity of an unconventional artistic research, attentive to light materials and formal experimentation.

An exhibition of national importance

Curated by Stefania Bossi, the museum's director, along with Valentina Cane and Michele Tavola, with the support of a scientific committee, the exhibition is promoted as part of the network of National Museums of Lombardy. For the city of Vigevano, it represents a significant cultural event, capable of simultaneously enhancing the Castle's heritage and an artistic figure worthy of rediscovery.
