Artists in Rome. Paths between Secession, Futurism and Return to Order

As part of the Artiste a Roma exhibition. Paths between Secession, Futurism and Return to Order, which offers the public an original key to understanding and in-depth analysis of female artistic production in Rome in the first half of the twentieth century and which continues to receive considerable appreciation from the public and critics, the Capitoline Superintendence proposes two meetings which will be held on Thursday 19th and Tuesday 24th September, at 5.30 pm, at the Casino Nobile dei Musei di Villa Torlonia.

Within a history of twentieth-century art in which the activity of female artists has often been “removed” or underestimated by official historiography, it is found that only in the seventies of the last century did a line of research on the history of ‘feminine art that has led to the construction of a new, continually evolving artistic fabric. From these premises the curatorship of the present days of in-depth analysis of a theme that can still lead to precious discoveries.

The meetings, with free admission while places last, will make use of the indispensable contribution of scholars who have long been concerned with female artists and the “question” of gender in the history of contemporary art.

Thursday 19 September, 5.30 pm

In the first meeting, entitled Artists protagonists of art in Rome between the two wars, female artistic production between the 1910s and 1940s will be examined through the interventions of Valeria Della Valle (formerly professor of “Italian Linguistics” at the Sapienza University of Rome , corresponding member of the Accademia della Crusca and member of the Accademia dell’Arcadia), Francesca Lombardi (art historian and essayist) and Franca Zoccoli (art historian and critic), with an introduction by Giulia Tulino (historian of art, Sapienza University of Rome).

Tuesday 24 September, 5.30 pm

The second meeting, Artists, theorists and militants, will be dedicated to the following decades, up to the seventies and beyond, a historical moment in which greater awareness on the issue of gender was achieved. Speeches are expected from Laura Iamurri (professor “History of Contemporary Art”, Roma Tre University), Maria Grazia Messina (formerly professor “History of Contemporary Art”, University of Florence) and Raffaella Perna (professor “History of Contemporary Art”, Sapienza University of Rome), with an introduction by Federica Pirani (Director of the Artistic Heritage Directorate of Historic Villas, Capitoline Superintendence).
