Enigma Pinocchio: From Giacometti to LaChapelle at Villa Bardini

Pinocchio’s adventures are known the world over. A symbol of both Italy and Tuscany, Carlo Collodi's 19th century creation has been the subject of works by Giacometti, LaChapelle, Munari, Paladino, McCarthy, Venturino Venturi and more. A dedicated exhibition demonstrates his influence and looks into why he is so often favoured by artists as a character worth exploring. Perhaps he represents veiled malevolence, or the spiritual search for enlightenment, in either case, Pinocchio is open to interpretation. Complex, elusive, and certainly enigmatic, a thousand eyes interpret a thousand different Pinocchio’s, which is what the exhibition invites us to reflect upon. The exhibition will be on display until March 22, 2020.
