Light is the star of this exhibition which spans centuries and countries. The effects of light are investigated in a selection of over 40 works distributed among the naves of Palazzo San Francesco in an installation designed to create light effects, both for the paintings and the visitor, who is invited to stroll through an exhibition that is sensory thanks to controlled lighting and scenic effects.
The exhibition, set up in conjunction with the release of the biographical dictionary created by Enrico Rizzi and published by Grossi Edizioni, showcases the most prominent figures among the Ossolani. These individuals, traversing the roads of Europe and the world, have left traces of their work—sometimes eccentric personalities, whose immense contributions have often been overshadowed by the tempests of history. This essential chapter, insufficiently explored, sheds light on the history of the valley, no less important than the unfolding of political events, dominations, wars, and natural disasters, which represent the only well-known and extensively studied aspects of Ossolan historiography.
