Exhibition on the theme of catastrophe, built around artworks from the Maramotti Collection’s archive - many of them never previously exhibited in this space - with masterpieces of the past on loan from prestigious national and international institutions. Featuring over fifty works that date from the XII century b.C to the present, it offers an asynchronous look at human and planetary disasters, drawing connections between images from very different eras, but also highlighting changes in the general sensitivity and response to catastrophic experience over the course of time.

The circular tour through the exhibition will open and close with Filippo Palizzi’s majestic painting Oltre il Diluvio (After the Deluge, 1864), a unique depiction of what happened after the Flood: amid a harsh, rugged landscape that has just emerged from the waters, where the stranded ark seems almost turned to stone and, without Noah, a vibrant explosion of multicoloured animals pours out across the canvas, presided over by the faint trace of a rainbow.
