On display some 90 works from the collections of the Museum of Rome, the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, the Collection Collection Pia and Peter Petrucci Pullini: drawings, watercolors and paintings divided into three sections that follow periods when he lived in Rome Pullini : from 1906 to the outbreak of the Great War from 1920 to 1922 and from 1934 until his death.

The first section contains some illustrations made by the artist for major magazines and newspapers including “The Illustrated Forum” and “The City.” Pullini frescoed with other painters Palace Interior Ministry (1920), depicts in an unusual and intimate Gabriele D’Annunzio, painted the official portrait of Pope Pius XI and a unique caricature of the poet Trilussa, his longtime friend. In ’22 he left Rome to teach design in schools of Cagliari, Rovigo and Faenza but maintains contact with the city through participation in exhibitions (in ’21 I participate in the Biennale Romana, in ’26 the exhibition of caricatures former restaurant Biffi and from ’27 to ’30 the annual exhibitions of Amateurs and Connoisseurs of art at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni). In addition to its growing reputation with an illustration of the unique book of readings for the first and second grade.

The second section recounts the years of World War II and postwar with watercolors characterized by an ironic and painful realism. The watchful eye and sympathetic to Pullini focuses on priests and kings, nobles and bourgeois politicians and common people, veterans and heroes, Fascist and American newcomers. All full-length portraits are blurred backgrounds while minimizing caricatured traits, a choice that makes this a true document of those times.

The third and final section contains a group of paintings, starting dal1912, they document the work as a portraitist. From naked women, evidence of his training at the Institute of Fine Arts in Rome Atelier Giulio Aristide Sartorio, to later works where a vein outcrops more familiar and intimate.

Easter in Rome

Rome
from 5 to 9 of April

Five days of music, dance, literature and theater in 19 venues including museums, libraries and homes of the capital issues from morning to evening and special openings.

Theatre, stage readings, recitals, poetry, dance, performative interventions, and many musical events will flood during Easter Civic Museums, Libraries and the Houses of the capital issues for a total of 19 locations, 5 days and nearly 60 events dedicated to the culture and entertainment.

The initiative represents a real novelty on the cultural scene in Rome.
For the first time the City of Rome promotes entertainment events in museums and cultural spaces, around Easter, in a systematic and widespread, creating a unified and coordinated program of events including museums, libraries and homes of the capital issues that wind along for several days and at different times as a long and complex path, suggesting an extraordinary relationship between place of art to show, thus motivating an equally extraordinary mode for use by the public. The artistic heritage of the system and activity spaces for the promotion of culture (houses, libraries, theaters) are indeed two standards of excellence that distinguish Rome Capital of culture internationally.
The show, therefore, 5 to 9 April will star in cultural facilities usually allocated to activities outside, with events designed specifically for the space or chosen for their adherence to the site. The challenge, therefore, is to talk to experimentation and tradition, refinement of research with the sign of popular and reinventing spaces for use. The artists invited to inhabit these spaces in fact propose novel relations between expressive language and art sites, unexpected harmony between words and images.
