Hello everyone!
Every now and then, I manage to post something, but I'm always swamped with problems and commitments, and this makes me very sad because I would love to be much more active in this wonderful community. Lately, I've probably also become very lazy, and this is definitely not okay.
Today, I wanted to share with you where I spent my weekend—or rather, my Sunday. I didn't do anything too demanding, but I saw something that, in my opinion, is worth sharing and letting other people know about.
For those who have already read what I write here, you know well that my roots are actually in Brescia, as my mom still lives there, and every now and then, I go back because I like to escape the hustle and stress of Milan.
And this Sunday too, I wanted to take a stroll around Brescia, and I realized that there is an exhibition running until June 15, 2025, at Palazzo Martinengo, which is very interesting. I am not a huge art lover, let’s say I'm the typical person who occasionally visits museums to see paintings. However, this particular exhibition caught my attention because it was focused on the Belle Époque, a period that has always fascinated me, especially since most of the paintings and art in this exhibition were developed in Paris.
If you remember, I also shared here in the community about my trip to Paris, a city that I absolutely adore and believe everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime for the magic it conveys.
So I thought, why not visit this exhibition? And I have to say, I was impressed by this display of over 100 works of art by Italian artists, featuring many important names like Giovanni Boldini, Giuseppe De Nittis, and Federico Zandomeneghi—exceptional Italian artists who worked in Paris during this significant era for painting.
I must say, I enjoyed the exhibition, especially because many of these works are not always on display since they are part of private collections or are housed in museums far from Italy.
But undoubtedly, what struck me most about this exhibition is the way it transports you to this historical period rich in artistic and cultural innovation. In fact, these works, as you can see from the photos I’ve shared, depict the daily life scenes of Paris during that era—where squares were bustling, as were cafes and theaters. But above all, what I love is the attention to elegance; there was meticulous care in the details of their clothing.
So, if you have the chance, visit this exhibition because it’s definitely worth it. I had a wonderful experience and spent practically the entire afternoon inside this palace. Thank you for reading, and I’ll see you next time!
