Trentino has always been
“a frontier land […] between the Italian figurative culture and the German transalpine culture.Thus, the sober Romanesque artistic achievements of the first centuries after the Thousand are mainly attributed to Paduan workers, while the long gothic season, witnessed by the flourishing of the wooden sculpture and by great pictorial cycles of sacred and chivalric character, it welcomes important Austro-Bohemian contributions alongside the Venetian-Lombard models of southern Trentino. ” (from cultura.trentino.it)
From this long tradition of contributions and artistic dialogues, the collective exhibition DIALOGHI CROMATICI 5 + 5 (Trentino – Lombardia) was born. It will be held from 01 to 15 September 2018 amid the suggestive underground rooms of the Archaeological Area of Lodron Palace in Trento (Italy).
The event will see five Lombardi artists and as many colleagues from Trentini set up CHROMATIC DIALOGUES of contemporary art with strokes of painting, sculpture and photography.

All that remains is to witness first hand the Trentino event DIALOGHI CHROMATICI 5 + 5 (Trentino – Lombardy) immersed in the evocative underground areas of the Palazzo Lodron Archaeological Space in Trento (Volksbank, Piazza Lodron 31) from 01st to 15th September 2018.

The vernissage includes the presentation of the event and its protagonists and a lively performance by the Trentino artist Angelo MAGRO.
For the few who do not know him yet, Angelo Magro has been noticed since his childhood for his strong predisposition to “live the words”, but it is following a serious youth incident, to which his partner who loses his life loses his life literary production: Angelo Magro’s words unfold, intertwine and combine in a literary production that
“penetrates into the most intimate fibers of the reader, can leave him disconcerted, because it is too dry, even when words and images are sought, but then conquers for its ability to represent the naked truth of good and evil, without discount.” (from Quaderno in the form of sol, Osiride Editions)
