Equinozio D'Autunno: 19 International Artists

EQUINOZIO D’AUTUNNO

19 Italian & International Artists

September 22 – November 10

As the equinox repeats over time marking the transition from one season to another, the Autumn Equinox exhibition returns to the Castello di Rivara, even more rich and evocative.

Franz Paludetto, today as then, has identified a new generation of artists to celebrate the astronomical event that makes night equal to day. Autumn Equinox is an extraordinary exhibition. This is not a conventional exhibition, but a complex and multifaceted experience.

There are four solo shows in which the works of Elvio Chiricozzi "Weightless", Oreste Casalini "Balanced", Mustafa Sabbagh "Everything Moves" and Davide Dormino "Magnetism" are displayed in a part of the main part of the castle, which was renovated in late nineteenth century. Also in this space, next to the works of the collection exhibited permanently, are the works of Omar Ronda, titled, "The guests of blue blood visiting the Castello di Rivara".

The stables play host to the solo show of the German artist Peter Schmersal, "Painting" confirming the relationship that still binds the Rivara Castle to Germany. It's a long-standing love marked by fundamental exhibitions in the history of contemporary art.

In the Old Castle, almost in contrast with its definition, the works of the three young artists: Luca Cruz Salvati "Principles without principles", Sveva Angeletti and Leonardo Aquilino "Photographic Documentation Center".

Outside, the park surrounding the castle follows the same logic: making permanent works and temporary works coexist on the occasion of the Equinox. Alessandro Giorgi's "4 white mattresses 1 black", Annamaria Gelmi's "The flower for Castello", Maurizio Taioli's "Via Crucis" and Nicus Lucà's "The color thief" will occupy this sprawling exhibition space.

Finally, the cellars of the Castle will house the works of Katia Pugach "Dejavu" and the history of Erbaluce wine, with the ceramist Maria Teresa Rosa in "Cantico" and the Canavese producers Ferrando, Orsolani and Santa Clelia.

Federico Fellini: A Look into the Life and Career of an Icon

A Fellini family portrait “The term became a common word to describe something on the surface you can say is bizarre or strange, but actually is really like a painter working on a film,” said Martin Scorsese when asked to define “Felliniesque,” an adjective inspired by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. The oldest of three children, Federico Fellini was born in the seaside town of Rimini in 1920. His father was a traveling salesman, so his mother was left to do the bulk of raising the children. One can argue that Fellini was born for his destiny. “You could tell that even as a child, he was different and unique. He was very intelligent, well above average. He was always the one to organize things, direct the others, make up games. He could control the other kids with just a look, said Fellini’s sister, Maddalena, in an interview with journalist Gideon Bachmann. Not only was Fellini directing the children, but he was also putting on shows and charging ...

Ornella Muti: Five decades of Acting and Still Going Strong

Ornella Muti was born Francesca Romana Rivelli in Rome in 1955 to a Neapolitan father and an Estonian mother. She began her career as a model during her teenage years and made her film debut in 1970 with “La Moglie più bella” (The Most Beautiful Wife). Her follow-up role was in the 1971 film, “Sole nella pelle” (Sun on the Skin), in which she played the daughter of wealthy parents who runs off with a hippie they don’t approve of. The film offers a telling journey through Italian society in the seventies, with its political climate, breathtaking seaside, and the styles and cars of that time. Much of the film is set amid the sunny Italian seaside and captures the innocence and beauty of first love. Muti made her American film debut in 1980 with "Flash Gordon." She played the role of Princess Aura. She’s appeared in two other American films, including “Oscar,” directed by John Landis and starring Don Ameche, Chazz Palminteri, and Sylvester Stallone. In 1992, she w...

Model/Actress Anna Falchi

Anna Falchi was born Anna Kristiina Palomaki, on April 22, 1972, in Tampere, Finland. Her mother, Kaarina Palomaki Sisko, is Finnish, while her father, Benito "Tito" Falchi, is from Romagna, Italy. Growing up in Italy, Anna was a tomboy, and had a fervent imagination. She is known mostly for her prolific career in modelling. However, she tried her hand at acting and landed a role in one of my favorite Italian comedies, Nessun messaggio in segreteria . I consider it my one of my favorites because it brought together so many amazing, talented filmmakers during a time when they were all just starting out. Those filmmakers, Pierfrancesco Favino, Valerio Mastandrea, Luca Miniero and Paolo Genovese are now huge names in contemporary Italian cinema, so it's great to look back and see their work in a low-profile film completely different from the bigger-budget stardom they now know. Watch the trailer . Anna Falchi started her career as a...

In a short space of time they must decide, for themselves and on the behalf of their fellow colleagues, whether to accept the...

Alessandro Gassmann: Born to Act

Alessandro Gassmannin his directorial debut "Razzabastarda" Alessandro Gassmann is the son of the iconic Italian actor/director Vittorio Gassman and French actress Juliette Mayniel. He was born in 1965 and grew up around cinema royalty. He made his cinema debut in 1982 at the age of 17 in his father's autobiographical film, "Di padre in figlio." He went on to study his craft under his father's direction at the Theatre Workshop of Florence. Vittorio Gassman was very active in theater and seemed just as comfortable on stage as he did in front of the camera. Known for his powerful interpretations of Dante's "Inferno" and "Paradiso," it is no surprise that he nurtured his son's acting aspirations on stage before he launched his career in television and film. One of Gassmann's strong qualities, which he undoubtedly inherited from his father is his incredible range and ease in going from genre to genre. He can play ...
