NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti - GIO PONTI AND THE THEATRE

SHARE THE EVENT

NABA presents an installation that highlights Gio Ponti's connection to theatre by reconstructing a scene from the storyboard of a film adaptation of Pirandello's play "Enrico IV", created by NABA students of the Set Design Area, supervised by Margherita Palli and the Faculty, in collaboration with Cleaf. The documentary, produced by Muse Factory of Projects with Gio Ponti Archives, along with an exhibition of iconic furnishings designed by the architect and produced by Molteni&C., introduces visitors to the reconstruction of the scene.
On April 4 at 11AM, a Roundtable discussion will delve into the figure of Ponti as a humanist, exploring the intersections of design, theatre, and art, with contributions from Salvatore Licitra, Francesca Molteni, Marco Scotini, among others.
