With a selection of no less than 60 shots, the exhibition focuses on the themes Cavalli frequented most during his stay in Anticoli Corrado: still lifes, scenes of daily life in the village and portraits of artists and intellectuals who frequented the village. There, in fact, the painter was in close contact with some influential personalities of the culture of the time, such as, among others, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Luigi and Fausto Pirandello, Elsa Morante, of each of whom he made an intense photographic portrait. The exhibition is then enriched by a group of works documenting the historical memory of the town: views of the village and photographs of the most characteristic festivals, from spaghetti competitions to the tree of cuccagna, passing through images of processions and portraits of Anticolan characters. The exhibition is completed by still lifes of a surreal tone, almost like small theatres that Cavalli composed and set up from waste materials, close to Futurist examples, probably influenced by his friendship with Vinicio Paladini, who was also present in Anticoli in the second half of the 1930s. The exhibition ends with a series of photographs taken at the window of the studio of "Gliva murata", from which, as emerged recently during studies conducted for the exhibition at the Museo Laboratorio di Arte contemporanea, Giuseppe Cavalli himself produced some views, evidence of a veritable creative workshop shared between the two brothers.
The exhibition, for which a catalogue will be published by De Luca Editori d'Arte, has the patronage of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna and the Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea of the "Sapienza" University of Rome. During the exhibition there will be meetings, seminars and in-depth studies on photography, which will be communicated through the communication channels of the Museum of Anticoli Corrado.
