GUIDED TOURS AND EXCURSIONS
CINEMA
Among the new releases in cinemas in Verona we highlight:
- At last the Dawn – «Film directed by Saverio Costanzo, it is set in the 1950s in Rome and tells the story of a young Roman woman named Mimosa (Rebecca Antonaci), about to marry a man loved more by her family than by her. The girl goes to the Cinecittà studios to audition as an extra in a historical costume film set in Ancient Egypt starring Josephine Esperanto (Lily James), a Hollywood star, and Sean Lockwood (Joe Keery), an actor with whom she is infatuated Mimosa. This experience will make her experience an infinite night full of emotion, during which she will rediscover herself.” Director: Saverio Costanzo.
- Romeo and Juliet – «Film directed by Giovanni Veronesi, it tells the story of Vittoria, a young actress who during an audition is severely humiliated by a well-known, very cynical director. The role for which the girl had applied was that of Juliet, but Vittoria did not give up and she decided to try the casting again with a false identity.” Director: Giovanni Veronesi.

Torn Curtain. Good morning, good evening
From 10 February to 4 May 2024, the Studio la Città gallery presents a mysterious and unusual exhibition, a syncopated duet between the curators and the public, in which impossible dialogues between various protagonists are staged. Over 60 works on display including a look at the 80s, photography and fashion, international artists and ink nudes linked, untied, to the fragile worlds of ceramics, 20th century landscapes, abstract works, as well as engravings and drawings full of mystery and apocalypse.
Terracotta images
Offerings in sanctuaries, requests for grace from the gods or homage for a grace already received. The male and female heads or half-heads made of terracotta and protagonists of the temporary exhibition set up from 8 November 2023 until 6 October 2024 at the Archaeological Museum at the Roman Theater were intended for this purpose. A new exhibition itinerary, curated by Margherita Bolla. A rich collection of 380 terracotta figures, preserved in the Museum archives and not usually exhibited to the public. Images coming from the Verona area and belonging to private collections which then merged into the Civic Museums of Verona.
CONTEMPORARY NON-STOP. The breath of nature | AIR
“CONTEMPORARY NON-STOP. The breath of nature | ARIA”, curated by Patrizia Nuzzo (curator responsible for the modern and contemporary art collection), is open to the public from 7 October 2023 to 6 October 2024 to offer a new experiential journey focused on the element of air, understood in the dual value of a generative or destructive principle. A journey which, from the single fragment of the work of Anaximenes of Miletus (586 BC – 528 BC), finds its development to become an exhibition on the occasion of the third appointment dedicated to the contemporary of the GAM of Verona.
Giulio Paolini And in Arcadia I
The unpublished project by Giulio Paolini entitled “Giulio Paolini Et in Arcadia Ego”, created at the Gallery of Modern Art, curated by Patrizia Nuzzo and Stefano Raimondi, is a project that brings together the Civic Museums – Gallery of Modern Art Achille Forti and ArtVerona, for a format specifically designed for the GAM spaces, which from 15 October 2023 to 3 March 2024, at Palazzo della Ragione, presents to the public the key elements of the artist’s research, in which unpublished works, conceived to the Veronese museum, dialogue with works from the public collection, such as “The Apparition of the Virgin” by Paolini himself, present in the civic collection since 2002.
