Emilio Vedova @ Palazzo Reale Milano

The Milan show “Emilio Vedova”, which runs from December 2019, has been shaped by the opportunity of using the spectacular Sala della Cariatidi in the Palazzo Reale as an exhibition space. The hall, originally constructed in the mid-18th century by Giuseppe Piermarini, has endured more than two hundred years of archi- tectural challenges, including its semi-destruction in a Second World War bombardment. Subsequently rather clumsily restored, it was used only sporadically for exhibitions, notably the celebrated display of Pablo Picasso’s Guernica in 1953. From 2000 onwards the hall has been the object of a more careful refurbishment aimed at recuperating and consolidating the original parts and providing adequate lighting. Nowadays, given the inadvisability of using the walls, the Sala delle Cariatidi has hosted temporary installations that respect the existing decoration, so that every exhibition offers a new reading of the space in the light of the work shown.
