    Severino Ferraris (1903-1979), painter who humbly drew on the living sources of color and light, recreating, on large canvases as on modest sketches, the brightness of the Ossola valleys, the splendor of their snows, the romantic following of the farmhouses and soaring bell towers, all the warmth of the autumns or the sigh of the springs that return to awaken. Severino Ferraris with his painting full of purity and ingenuity repeats the forms and techniques dear to the poets of romanticism; if sometimes he stumbles into the twilight, he quickly gets rid of it, to return clear and luminous.

    "The Amazon on horseback" - Bronze sculpture by Augusto Rivalta (Alessandria 1837 - Florence 1925) dating back to 1901. Signed and dated on the base. AUGUSTO RIVALTA (Alessandria, March 14, 1837 - Florence, April 14, 1925) was an Italian sculptor. After completing his studies at the Ligustica Academy, in 1859 he went to Florence for his specialization, attended the Duprè studio and the adherents to the Florentine current of the Macchiaioli. While settling in Florence, Rivalta maintains strong ties with Genoa. In this city, at the Staglieno Cemetery, there are many of his works and some of these are the Carlo Raggio Tomb, from 1872, the Drago Tomb from 1884, (for Giulio Cesare Drago, the donor of the railing of the Carignano bridge), the Pallavicino Tomb from 1892, the Ghigliani Tomb, etc. Since 1874 he has held the chair of Sculpture at the Florence Academy. A strong tendency towards a realistic approach is evident in his work. Among the many works by Rivalta that decorate Genoa, we must not forget the equestrian statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi, in Piazza De Ferrari, in front of the Carlo Felice theater and the Ligustica Academy. Especially in the plastic of the horse of this statue it is worth noting the realistic tendency and the technical skill of the modeling, characteristic of the Florentine school, which has dictates according to which the sculpture still passes through the laborious phase of the preparatory drawing. There are numerous commemorative statues of heroes of national unity. Rivalta performs, around the same time, two bronze statues for the Municipality of Sampierdarena, near the city of Genoa. Of these two statues, one in Piazza Monastero always depicts Giuseppe Garibaldi, this time standing. The other portrays the painter Nicolò Barabino, born in Sampierdarena, in the square of the same name. In the center of Genoa, in piazza Loading, the statue of Raffaele Rubattino is still his. Among his works is the bust of Christopher Columbus sent to Detroit (Michigan), from 1910. The subject of Christopher Columbus is also treated by one of his pupils, Francesco Caroni, who in 1892 painted the statue of Christopher Columbus seated and brooding, currently in courtyard of the Liceo Colombo in Genoa. The equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele II, originally placed in the Piazza Grande in Livorno and later moved in front of the nearby Government Palace, dates back to 1892. Another well-known work of Rivalta, a work completed at the end of his artistic career, are the sculptural groups of the Forza del Vittoriano in Rome: it is one of the four groups of Botticino marble statues on the pillars of the staircase, about 6 meters high. Around 1859 he volunteered to join the Carabinieri army, fighting for the liberation of Italy and later, returning to Florence, entered Giovanni Duprè's studio. Around 1861 he won the competition for the monument to Cavour in Turin which was not built because the artist was considered too young, thus entrusting the task to Duprè. Professor of the Academic College of Fine Arts in Florence since 1870, in 1883 he won the competition for the equestrian monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in Livorno; for the same city he created the monument to Garibaldi (1889). Author of the monument to Raffaele Rubattino (1889) and Garibaldi (from a sketch of 1889 and inaugurated on October 15, 1893) in Genoa, for the city of Chiavari he created those to Mazzini, Garibaldi (1890) and Vittorio Emanuele II, while in 1897 he executed in Florence the one in Bettino Ricasoli. Together with Antonio Garella in 1901 he created the monument to Rossetti in Trieste. The Garibaldi of Sampierdarena dates from 1905 and for the monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in Rome he painted the allegorical statue depicting The Force (circa 1910). Author of funerary monuments, portraits and genre works, at the Italian Exhibition of 1861 he exhibited Wounded Zouave, participated in the exhibitions of the Promoter of Fine Arts of Turin from 1863 and at the Florentine Spring in 1922 he presented the bronzes "The first death", "The holy family" and "Hercules" which overthrows the centaur, the latter already proposed in London in 1904. At the Turin Quadrennial in 1902 he presented "San Giovannino" and at the Venice Biennale in 1903 he exhibited "In Arcadia". In 1915 he exhibited "Satyr and Nimph" at the San Francisco International. In the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome are preserved the works G. B. Niccolini, from 1864, oriented towards the realist taste of Adriano Cecioni, Spinning top player, repeatedly reproduced, "Child joking with the goat", "Return from the post office" and "Dancing Faun". The bronze "Antaeus" is preserved in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan, while in the Lima museum "Baccanale" (1904). Other works of his are also in the Gallery of Modern Art in Florence. His son Carlo (1887–1941), a sculptor, was his pupil.

    Screen printing on mirror in polished stainless steel, edition 80/80. MICHELANGELO PISTOLETTO was born in Biella in 1933. He began exhibiting in 1955 and in 1960 he held his first solo show at the Galatea Gallery in Turin. His first pictorial production is characterized by a research on self-portrait, experimenting different techniques recalling Fontana, Jean du Buffet and Pollock. Through this research he accomplishes two works on black emaled canvas, which later lead him to his mirror paintings in 1961. In the two-year period 1961-1962 he arrives at the creation of mirror paintings, which directly include the presence of the viewer, the real dimension of time in the work and also reopen the perspective, overturning the Renaissance one closed by the avant-garde of the twentieth century. With these works Pistoletto quickly achieved international recognition and success, which led him to carry out, already during the 1960s, personal exhibitions in prestigious galleries and museums in Europe and the United States. The mirror paintings will form the basis of his subsequent artistic production and theoretical reflection. Between 1965 and 1966 he produced a set of works entitled Minus Objects, considered fundamental for the birth of Arte Povera, an artistic movement of which Pistoletto is the animator and protagonist. Starting from 1967 he carried out, outside the traditional exhibition spaces, actions that represent the first manifestations of that “creative collaboration” that Pistoletto will develop over the following decades, bringing together artists from different disciplines and increasingly wider sectors of society. Between 1975 and 1976 he created a cycle of twelve consecutive exhibitions, Le Stanze, at the Stein Gallery in Turin, the first of a series of complex works organized over a year, called "continents of time", as White Year (1989 ) and Happy Turtle (1992). In 1978 he held an exhibition during which he presented two fundamental directions of his future research and artistic production: Division and multiplication of the mirror and Art dives in religion. At the beginning of the eighties he created a series of sculptures in rigid polyurethane, translated into marble for the personal exhibition of 1984 at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence. From 1985 to 1989 he created the series of “dark” volumes called Arte dello squallore (Art of Squalor). During the nineties, with Progetto Arte and with the creation in Biella of Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto and the University of Ideas, he puts art in an active relationship with the different areas of the social context in order to inspire and produce a responsible transformation of society. In 2003 he was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale. In 2004 the University of Turin awarded him an honorary degree in Political Science. On this occasion the artist announces what constitutes the most recent phase of his work, called Terzo Paradiso. In 2007 he received the Wolf Foundation Prize in Arts in Jerusalem, "for his constantly creative career as an artist, educator and activator, whose tireless intelligence has given rise to premonitory art forms that contribute to a new understanding of the world". In 2010 he is the author of the essay Il Terzo Paradiso, published in Italian, English, French and German. In 2012 he promoted the Rebirth-day, the first universal day of rebirth, celebrated every year on 21th December with initiatives carried out in different places around the world. In 2013 the Louvre Museum in Paris hosts his solo exhibition Michelangelo Pistoletto, année un - le paradis sur terre. In the same year he received the Praemium Imperiale for painting in Tokyo. In May 2015, the Universidad de las Artes de Havana awarded him an honorary degree. In the same year he created a large-scale work, entitled Rebirth, located in the park of the Palace of Nations in Geneva, headquarters of the United Nations Organization. In 2017 his text Hominitism and Demopraxia was published. Manifesto for a regeneration of society. Between 2018 and 2020 the activity of the Third Paradise is further intensified, in particular through the development of an international network of Embassies and Forums. In these same years he is also particularly active in various countries of Latin America with personal exhibitions and various initiatives related to the Third Paradise.

  • The birth of Venus, work of 1923, signed and dated 1924 in the lower right and numbered in the lower left 13/25 by the author Carlo Dalmazio Carrà (Quargnento, 11 February 1881 - Milan, 13 April 1966), Italian painter and teacher , professor at the Brera Academy from 1939 to 1951. This work is part of the "transcendent period" of the painter who since 1922 abandoned metaphysics, driven by the desire to "be only himself". Painting must grasp that relationship which includes the need to identify with things and the need for abstraction "and the contemplation of the landscape is then resolved in the" construction "of a painting, both mountain and marine. He also knows the Milanese painter-poet Cesare Breveglieri (who portrayed him while he was painting).

  • "The black and white cat" - Oil on tablet by Lorenzo Delleani dated 11.9.82 DELLEANI LORENZO. Born in Pollone (Biella) on January 17, 1840, died in Turin on November 13, 1908. He studied at the Accademia Albertina, a pupil of Gamba for drawing, then of Carlo Arienti and Andrea Gastaldi, graduating in 1862 when he had already made his debut at the Promoter of Fine Arts in 1855 and established itself there in 1860 with an episode of the siege of Ancona. According to the romantic interests of his time, he initially dedicated himself to historical re-enactment painting, to arrive at more spontaneous research on the truth with interior studies, environment and views of Genoa, Venice and the surroundings of Turin, as well as Pollone and Paris. At the Turin national exhibition in 1880 the Ministry of Grace and Justice bought him the vast canvas Caterina Grimani Dogaressa, while critics showed a preference for "In the garden". The following year, in Milan, alongside Sebastiano Veniero who presents the prisoners of Lepanto, he exhibited Quies, which earned him numerous acclaim, such as to induce him to abandon historical subjects to devote himself to the landscape, establishing himself for its genuineness and brightness. In addition to the large canvases destined for the numerous national and international exhibitions, in which he participated in Italy and abroad, Delleani linked his name to a vast pictorial production made almost exclusively on small panels, "among the most convincing things of Italian landscape 'age' (Lavagnino). Among his disciples we remember: Giuseppe Bozzalla, Sofia di Bricherasio, Giuseppe Buscaglione, Luigi Cantò, Giuseppe A. Levis, Angela Meucci, Camilla Bergonzio, Emilia Ferrettini Rossotti, Enrico Reycend. Delleani was in Paris and Bern in 1878, in Holland in 1883, Switzerland in 1892, but for his paintings he aimed above all at the motifs that nature and the environment could suggest to him during his periodic stays in the Biellese, in Venice, in Rome, on the Riviera , in Monferrato.
