From 9 to 30 October, Autumn in Rovere’ della Luna (Trento, Italy) is tinged with romanticism in the artistic interpretations and historical photographic, philatelic and craft reenactments that embellish the exhibition RURAL WORLD (LA CIVILTA’ RURALE) at the Kunst Grenzen-Arte di frontiera private Hall in Villotta Str. 7 / a.
With the development of industries, peasant civilization began to be studied by historians, anthropologists, psychologists, ethnologists and more:
“Among these scholars, the tendency towards a romantic interpretation of the rural world has dominated, passing to an idealization of peasants and their culture and social forms. Indulging in a nostalgic regret […] they believed they could discover in the peasant world values and norms whose absence is regrettably recorded in the social reality of the present “(in” On the trail of Arcole. Path of peasant civilization “by Claudio Soprana)
Shots of lived history, artisan tools, pictorial glimpses, evocative landscapes extracted from the stitching of paintings made of textile art, the folds of rural fatigue extracted from wood, common coins and a large collection of stamps by the collector Mr. Luigi Ress to portray costumes, council houses around the world and much more tell “Rural civilization” at the Kunst Grenzen-Arte di frontiera Hall.
The exhibition, which inaugurates the Autumn and celebrates the closure of agricultural works in our Trentino and Rotalian territory, presents itself to the viewer in a conscious and multidisciplinary way, because only by reuniting the various levels of reading together is it possible to reconstruct an all-round as complete as possible of the rural world that still supports the world economy today.
It is a multidisciplinarity that falls within the full spirit of the cultural association Kunst Grenzen-Arte di frontiera, which is constantly committed to involving all the artistic realities in a broad sense to recover and reunite the collective vision of culture.
The exhibition “Rural World (La civiltà rurale)” inaugurated Saturday 9 October in collaboration with the Pro Loco of Rovere ‘della Luna, obtaining a broad consensus from the public and the compliments of the Regional Councilor Mr. Lorenzo Ossanna.
To open the evening, the President of the Association Mr. Gentile Polo who briefly anticipated the next artistic projects of the very active Kunst Grenzen-Arte di frontiera, including the annual exhibition of Nativity Scenes from all over Trentino and Alto Adige and the Mail Art project “Children in the world” curated by the artist and associate Renata Di Palma, which will collect until 31 January 2022 all the postal art works that will arrive from all over the world and which will be exhibited in a collective exhibition ( for all information: renata.dipalma55@gmail.com).
The presentation was then followed by the ritual toasts and the buffet with the excellent wines offered for the occasion by the Zehnhof Winery, produced since 1928 by three generations of the Rossi family of Rovere ‘della Luna (Trento, Italy).
