Return to Trieste. Lucio Saffaro between art and science – Magazzino 26

The exhibition Return to Trieste. Lucio Saffaro between art and science has been inaugurated at Magazzino 26 in Trieste. Promoted by the Lucio Saffaro Foundation with the Municipality of Trieste, it is curated by Claudio Cerritelli with the scientific collaboration of Gisella Vismara and open until the 26th of June.

With an extensive exhibition of almost 90 pictorial and graphic works by the painter, writer and mathematician Lucio Saffaro, the exhibition highlighs an artistic and intellectual personality that stood out for its originality in the Italian culture and art of the second half of the twentieth century, through a path that investigates his search for infinity and perfection, capable of combining a deep scientific culture with the constant pictographic investigation of symbolic forms linked to space and time, to the questions they arise and to the infinite mental and aesthetic investigations they suggest.

Between symbolic identifications, allegorical visions and magical icons of the time, the installation realized by our team creates a chronological, stylistic and thematic path, also revealing the complexity of the iconographic sources that inspired the painter and giving account of the originality of Saffaro in the context of the Italian culture and art of his time.
