Scipione 1904-1933
The City of Rome, on the suggestion of the Archive of the School of Rome, has instituted, inside the Main House of the Villa Torlonia, the permanent museum of the School of Rome, with works by the most important artists who have been part of it.
The full archive (period photos, catalogues, reviews, documents, manuscripts) has been placed in the adjacent House of the Princes, where it is open to the public. The rooms above display house temporary exhibitions related more generally to the years between the two wars.
Through an important selection of approximately 30 paintings and 20 drawings, the exhibition retraces Scipione’s works (Gino Bonichi Scipione, Macerata 1904 - Arco di Trento 1933). Scipione was one of the most prominent members of the Roman School and an artist of culture figurative of everything personal, in the poetics of which, the clear literary inspirations were transmuted into a style of painting characterised by a vibrant expressionism. His visionary language and the symbolic themes of the paintings reveal, even in the few years in which he developed his work, an intense and extremely original personality, in which the obsessive myth of a decadent and baroque Rome occurs.
Works from many public museums and private collections will be displayed.
