For the 90th anniversary of his death (Paris,1931), Palazzo Albergati in Bologna hosts an extraordinary exhibition, from October 29th 2021 to March 13th 2022, dedicated to\u00a0Giovanni Boldini, with over 90 of his magnificent works.

Feminine charm, sumptuous rustling clothes, the Belle \u00c9poque, parlors. This is the magnificent world of Giovanni Boldini. A genius painter who, more than any other, was able to revive the rarefied ambiance of an extraordinary era.\n\nLiterature and fashion, music and luxury, art and\u00a0bistros\u00a0meld into the vivacious rhythm of the\u00a0can-can\u00a0and create an extraordinary social and civil rebirth.<\/p>

The retrospective exhibition,\u00a0Giovanni Boldini - Lo sguardo nell\u2019anima (A Glance into the Soul), which develops along both a chronological and a thematic narrative register, presents a vast selection of works that best express Boldini\u2019s style, his ability to uniquely exalt female beauty and reveal the most intimate and mysterious soul of the noble subjects of that period.<\/p>

The works \u2013 lent out for the exhibition by Museoarchives Giovanni Boldini Macchiaioli in Pistoia, which catalogues the artist\u2019s works; Giovanni Boldini Museum in Ferrara; Nervi Museums - Gallery of Modern Art (GAM) of Genoa; Ca\u2019 la Ghironda - ModernArtMuseum, as well as many public and private collections \u2013 include renowned pieces, such as:\u00a0Mademoiselle De Nemidoff\u00a0(1908),\u00a0Portrait of the Actress Alice Regnault\u00a0(1884),\u00a0Countess Beatrice Susanna Henriette van Van Bylandt\u00a0(1903),\u00a0Countess De Rasty Lying (ca. 1880),\u00a0and The Voile Blouse (ca. 1906).<\/p>

The anniversary exhibition is, in fact, only a part of the celebrations that were organized for the 90th-year anniversary of Giovanni Boldini\u2019s death. It is supervised by the Study Committee, which was nominated by the Municipality of Ferrara and the Fondazione Ferrara Arte, and is made up of art scholars, chaired by Vittorio Sgarbi, and directed by Tiziano Panconi.

The Giovanni Boldini - Lo sguardo nell\u2019anima exhibition once again gives way to the \u201cArte della solidariet\u00e0\u201d project, created with Susan G. Komen Italia, charity partner\u00a0for the exhibition. Merging art with health, beauty, prevention: this is the essence of a project where the color pink of Komen Italia meets the masterpieces on display.\u2028A part of the proceeds from the tickets sold for the exhibition will be donated to creating healthcare-related projects. In this specific case, they will be used to purchase several cold caps for preventing hair loss during chemotherapy.<\/p>
