Edition 2025 — The Time of Play

Before the 2026 edition, MARV in Gradara hosted 'The Great Game of the World', on the games and extravagances of Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, created in collaboration with the A. Bertarelli Print Collection of Sforza Castle in Milan. A journey that consolidated the museum's dedication to playful culture, anticipating 'The Time of Play'.

In the 2024-2025 season, the MARV – Rubini Vesin Museum of Art in Gradara (PU) hosted 'The Great Game of the World. Games and Extravagances of Giuseppe Maria Mitelli', the second stage of the museum's journey dedicated to play after 'The Art of Play. Ancient Games from the Crippa Collection' in 2023.

The exhibition, created in collaboration with the A. Bertarelli Print Collection of Milan's Sforza Castle, explored the work of the famous Bolognese engraver Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, author of print games, plates, and playful curiosities. This event laid the groundwork for the subsequent edition, 'The Time of Play' with the Loris Betti Collection, confirming Gradara among the few places in Italy continuously engaged in the culture of play.
