Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí
The bond between Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí is complex and fascinating, made up of convergences, contrasts, and indirect exchanges spanning the entire 20th century of European art.
Extemporaneous poetry and music
A unique experience that unites words and music, creating an intimate and authentic space within the Visionaries exhibition.
A young woman with her typewriter will welcome your thoughts as they come: free, spontaneous, unfiltered. Each word can be transformed into poetry, accompanied by live musical inspirations.
There are no questions, no judgments: just the time and space to listen, to tell your story, and to see your thoughts take shape on paper.
The collected texts will become part of a final restitution, anonymous or with a title you can choose, giving life to a collective and shared work.
A delicate and profound encounter, where writing intertwines with music and art, giving voice to what often remains silent.
Event time: 6:30 PM
Ticket price:
€10 admission + glass of Prosecco
estemporanea di poesia e musica
Un’esperienza unica che unisce parola e musica, creando uno spazio intimo e autentico dentro la mostra Visionari.
Una ragazza con la sua macchina da scrivere accoglierà i tuoi pensieri così come arrivano: liberi, spontanei, senza filtri. Ogni parola potrà trasformarsi in poesia, accompagnata dalle suggestioni musicali eseguite dal vivo.
Non ci sono domande, non ci sono giudizi: solo il tempo e lo spazio per lasciarti ascoltare, per raccontarti e per vedere i tuoi pensieri prendere forma sulla carta.
I testi raccolti diventeranno parte di una restituzione finale, anonima o con un titolo che potrai scegliere tu stesso, dando vita a un’opera collettiva e condivisa.
Un incontro delicato e profondo, dove la scrittura si intreccia alla musica e all’arte, per dare voce a ciò che spesso resta in silenzio.

An unmissable Lart Universe’s exhibition where the master’s work meets the voices of contemporary art.
Pompeya, el último gladiador, is a unique and unrepeatable opportunity to immerse oneself in the Pompeii of two thousand years ago, left intact under a blanket of volcanic ash and unveiled in one of the most important and visited archaeological sites in the world.
More than one hundred artifacts from the Museo Mann (National Archaeological Museum of Naples) the archaeological site’s most important landmark museum, allow visitors to enter the heart of daily life in the city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, A refined narrative, multimedia exhibits produced with the most advanced technology, and a large section dedicated to virtual reality, will offer a highly immersive experience, a multisensory journey of the highest visual impact along the streets of the past, with the suggestions and memory of a civilization fundamental to the development of human progress.
What is Guernica?
Guernica is the name of the Basque town that was bombed on the 26th of April 1937 by the German and Italian Condor Legion air force, in support of dictator Francisco Franco. Hundreds of people died in the attack, all civilians. Picasso learned about the news from international newspapers and decided that Guernica would become the theme of his entry to the 1937 Paris Universal Exhibition.
He began working on the monumental artwork only five days after the bombing, and ultimately created a manifesto denouncing the absurd atrocity of war.
The preparatory studies
It took Picasso about 40 days to create Guernica. He made dozens of sketches and preparatory studies to define the composition, the characters, the lights, the colors. He changed his mind multiple times and – since he dated all the drawings – we can clearly follow all the phases of his creative process.
The 42 works displayed in the exhibition are part of an edition made in 1990 by UNESCO and the European Council, with the authorization of the Picasso Foundation.
