SUMMARY:Giorgio Armani: the Genius on display until 15 February
DESCRIPTION:GIORGIO ARMANI: THE GENIUS ON DISPLAY IN PARMA\nAt the Abbey of Valserena\, over 100 original works drawn from materials donated by the designer to the CSAC in the 1980s. \nThe genius and creativity of Giorgio Armani on display in Parma\, at the Abbey of Valserena\, from 13 December 2025 to 15 February 2026. A comprehensive tribute organised by the University of Parma and CSAC – the University’s Centre for Studies and Communication Archives. \nThe exhibition is entitled Giorgio Armani Archivio CSAC and brings together over one hundred original works selected from the more than 8\,000 items that make up the Giorgio Armani Collection\, personally donated by the designer to the CSAC in the 1980s. Drawings\, sketches and design materials belonging to the vast heritage preserved in the Media-Fashion section of the Centre\, an exceptional collection of testimonies that allows visitors to retrace the formative years and the evolution of the creative language of one of the most iconic figures in Italian fashion worldwide. \nIn addition to the original materials on display\, there will be a selection of press articles dedicated to Armani’s meteoric rise on the international fashion scene and his early relationships with Hollywood. The exhibition will also feature posters from the two films that marked the designer’s definitive consecration in the world of cinema: Woody Allen’s Annie Hall\, in which Diane Keaton won an Oscar in 1978 wearing an Armani suit for the first time\, and Paul Schrader’s American Gigolo\, the film that revolutionised men’s fashion in 1980 thanks to the wardrobe created by the designer for the protagonist played by Richard Gere. \nWith this exhibition\, CSAC continues its tribute to Giorgio Armani\, who passed away on 4 September\, offering the public the opportunity to discover the origins of a style destined to influence generations. The designs on display – fashion sketches\, drawings and preparatory studies created using mixed techniques – convey the essence of Armani’s talent through his early works preserved in the Archive and dating from between 1975 and 1980. The representation of the female figure and the choice of materials express a new attitude\, combining freedom of movement\, elegance and awareness. Soft lines and flowing fabrics alternate with more structured materials\, in a balance of contrasts that characterises the designer’s entire production. \nArmani’s graphic style gave rise to slender female figures inspired by the figurative culture of the 1930s and the graphic sensibility of illustrators such as Guido Crepax; dresses conceived as fluid structures\, where flowing fabrics interact with more substantial materials; the birth of the famous women’s suit and unstructured jacket\, destined to become symbols of Armani’s new elegance. The exhibition also reveals the transformation of men’s fashion: softer lines\, fabrics far removed from classic rigidity in an innovative vision that anticipates the almost interchangeability of men’s and women’s wardrobes\, where gender codes intertwine and are redefined. \nGiorgio Armani Archive CSAC \n13 December 2025 – 15 February 2026 \nCSAC – Centre for Studies and Archive of Communication \nUniversity of Parma | Abbey of Valserena \nViazza di Paradigna 1\, Parma \nOpening hours: Friday 9am-3pm | Saturday and Sunday 10am-7pm \nContact details: servizimuseali@csacparma.it

SUMMARY:At CSAC\, the exhibition "Sguardi sull'Africa: le fotografie di Tito e Sandro Spini nelle collezioni CSAC"
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 21 February\, the exhibition Sguardi sull’Africa: le fotografie di Tito e Sandro Spini nelle collezioni CSAC (Views of Africa: photographs by Tito and Sandro Spini in the CSAC collections) was inaugurated at the Abbey of Valserena\, offering the public the opportunity to discover a photographic and documentary corpus of extraordinary historical\, artistic and anthropological importance. The exhibition\, created as part of the PRIN PNRR 2022 project Straniere: the reception of non-European arts and cultures in Italy (1945-2000)\, presents unpublished material related to field research and photographic campaigns conducted by Tito Spini (Milan 1923 – Chiuduno 2017) and Sandro Spini (Bergamo 1950 – 2005) in Mali between the 1970s and 1980s\, a crucial period for the development of ethnographic and visual studies on West Africa. \nThe collection\, preserved in the Photography Section and donated to the CSAC in the late 1970s by Sandro Spini\, includes sixty-one prints documenting the travels of the two photographer-anthropologists\, both trained architects\, among the Bozo and Dogon peoples. Alongside the photographic works\, a large collection of documentary material is on display: correspondence\, invitations\, press proofs\, reviews and critical articles dedicated to their work; a heritage that allows us to completely reconstruct the context of the research and the working methods of the two authors. \n\n\n\n\n\nWith this exhibition\, CSAC aims to pay tribute to a period of photographic and anthropological research that is still little known in Italy but of great international importance. The investigations conducted by the Spinis represent a turning point in the way of doing “field ethnography” in Africa\, placing them among the leading authors in Italy to have continuously experimented with the use of photography as both an aesthetic and interpretative tool for ethnographic purposes. \nTheir approach\, developed in part through engagement with the thinking of Margaret Mead\, John Collier Jr. and the methodologies of visual anthropology\, has made it possible to challenge established narratives about the Dogon and Bozo communities\, offering more complex representations of the places and peoples they encountered. Through a careful and methodologically rigorous approach\, the Spinis have constructed a visual dialogue that does not merely document\, but problematises and restores the cultural richness of the contexts studied. \nThe Spini photographs are also characterised by an evident expressive power that has made them the subject of interest for art critics\, gallery owners and photographers such as Arturo Carlo Quintavalle\, Lanfranco Colombo and Mario Cresci\, or anthropologists such as Marco Aime\, who have recognised their particular aesthetic significance and their ability to renew the language of cultural reportage. \nThe exhibition\, centred around themes such as different ways of living and the relationship between the Dogon and Bozo peoples and their respective domestic and working environments\, allows visitors to rediscover the artistic and historical value of the Spini’s research\, opening up a space for reflection on the relationships between photography\, anthropology and visual memory. \nThe photographs on display from the CSAC collections are placed in close dialogue with a selection of documentary materials preserved at the Sandro Spini Archive in Bergamo\, highlighting the processes of constructing ethnographic knowledge and the ways in which images become tools for research\, narration and intercultural relations. \nSguardi sull’Africa: le fotografie di Tito e Sandro Spini nelle collezioni CSAC \ncurated by Alessandra Acocella and Alessandro Ferraro\n21 February – 26 April 2026\nCSAC Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione dell’Università di Parma\nAbbazia di Valserena\nStrada Viazza di Paradigna 1\, 43122 Parma \nMuseum opening hours\nFriday 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.\nSaturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nAdmission\nFull price ticket: €10.00\nFor information and discounts: https://www.csacparma.it/visita/ \nInformation and bookings\nCSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione dell’Università di Parma csac@unipr.it\nservizimuseali@csacunipr.it\n+ 39 0521 903500 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:23 and 24 February: two events on the relationship between omic technologies\, biodiversity and phytochemistry
DESCRIPTION:Two meetings at the Pharmacy Complex of the Science and Technology Campus. Guest speaker: researcher Tito Damiani from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences\, member of the international Earth Metabolome Initiative network. \nThe double event scheduled for Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th February at the Science and Technology Campus (Pharmacy Building\, Lecture Hall I). It is co-organised by the Department of Food and Drug Sciences\, the “G. Casnati” Interdepartmental Services and Measurement Centre and the University Museum System\, with the support of the FOODER network. \nOmics Approaches for Studying the Chemistry of Life the title of the meeting on 23 February\, mzmine for Mass Spectrometry Data Processing the one on the 24th. \nBoth events will begin at 9 a.m. and are aimed at researchers\, doctoral students\, and advanced students interested in the frontiers of natural product chemistry\, metabolomics\, and plant biodiversity. \nThe guest will be Tito Damiani\, researcher at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences and member of the international Earth Metabolome Initiative network. Dr Damiani is part of the research group led by Tomáš Pluskal\, which has been working for years on the integration of mass spectrometry\, metabolomics\, bioinformatics and machine learning to develop innovative processes and workflows aimed at discovering bioactive natural molecules and understanding their biosynthesis. \nThe seminar on 23 February will focus on the role of omic technologies at the intersection of natural substance chemistry and data science. The latest strategies used to systematically explore the chemical diversity generated by plants during evolution and translate it into new application and study opportunities\, from pharmacology to natural sciences\, will be illustrated. The seminar will highlight the strategic role of botanical gardens as scientific infrastructures for research into natural substances. In addition to preserving biodiversity\, these collections are effectively “living libraries”\, which are essential for comparative studies on plant metabolomes and for the creation of global databases of terrestrial chemical diversity. This perspective is reflected in international initiatives such as the Earth Metabolome Initiative\, which aims to systematically catalogue the metabolites produced by living organisms and build collaborative platforms for data sharing and accelerating scientific discovery. \nThe event on 24 February will be a practical workshop for teachers and PhD students\, led by Tito Damiani\, focusing on the use of the open-source software MzMine for importing\, visualising\, processing and annotating mass spectrometry data\, specialising in untargeted analysis (metabolomics and proteomics). \n\n\nInfo\nrenato.bruni@unipr.it\nchiara.dallasta@unipr.it \n\n\n\n\nPoster
