Poem
Canova in Milan between art and love

HOME > '16 > '15 > '14 > '13 > '12

The Gallerie d'Italia in Milan, Piazza della Scala 6, host the Canova - Thorvaldsen exhibition. The event was created thanks to the collaboration with the Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. So the works of the two artists were gathered and compared.

Although the first comparison ever took place in Rome at the end of the eighteenth century by the two artists: Canova who moved from Venice (1781) while Thorvaldsen from Copenhagen (1797). In those years the two challenged each other with chisel strokes producing sculptures on the same motifs and subjects to show off their mutual ability.

With sculpture they represented the themes of life and death, beauty and love, elevating art to the point of being considered the fathers of modern sculpture.

The possibility of gathering the most famous statues made it possible to recreate the cultural context of the time.

The exhibition will be open until March 15, 2020, from Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 to 19:30.

Poetry - Love 

Love is the meeting of two lives
that pushes to the most sincere actions
in response to questions already gone.
It is the choice to do and please.

On the way, face the climbs
and carefully crosses the storms
amid laughter and amused requests,
like a sealed courier envelope.

That secret of infinite joys
it will repay waiting with knowledge
filling the shortcomings already suffered.

However divine, the counselor,
leave everyone free at the exits:
if, in the choice, to love or want.

Umberto F. M. Cefalà

This blog was created in 2012 with the first works and phrases romantic inspired by classical poetry. Later in the 2013 pointed towards a creative line with the testing of the open source project that is of poems by multiple authors. In 2014 he published My metaphors , a study of the figures of speech with new definitions and ad hoc examples. In the same year, to coincide with the Milanese works for the Universal Exhibition of 2015, led EXPO project concerning the representation of the most famous Italian dishes. In 2015 focused attention on those increasingly popular crafts as the grinder or the cobbler. It was also facing classical and contemporary art with the spread of cultural events of all sorts, but always presented in a poetic. In 2016 he held particularly to highlight developments on environmental protection.
