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

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: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:Sunday\, 16 November: second event in the series “Oltre le Opere / Dentro alla Musica” at the CSAC
DESCRIPTION:Following last Sunday’s event with Museo svelato (The Museum Revealed)\, the CSAC continues its Oltre le Opere / Dentro alla Musica (Beyond the Works / Inside Music) series with three chamber concerts and narration\, a project in which music meets \nOn Sunday\, 16 November\, at the Abbey of Valserena\, starting at 10:30 a.m.\, the second event is scheduled\, with free admission: Intrecci / ‘Le parole ivi raggrumate’ (The words gathered there)\, a concert performed by the Quartetto Dedicato\, formed by Daniele Ruzza and Camilla Mazzanti on violins\, Behrang Rassekhi on viola\, and Adan Alejandro Gomez Dominguez on cello\, with narration by Faustino Stigliani. \nA highly regarded theatre actor and beloved radio voice\, Stigliani will give voice to Luigi Magnani\, here in the role of scholar of the Conversation Notebooks (the writings Beethoven used to communicate despite his deafness)\, which he himself commented on in the book Beethoven nei suoi Quaderni di Conversazione (Beethoven in his Conversation Notebooks\, 1975). Part of these writings\, with Beethoven’s reflections\, will be read by Stigliani\, particularly those relating to the music in the programme: the Quartet in A minor\, Op. 132\, and Große Fuge in B flat major\, Op. 133\, composed by Beethoven in the last years of his life\, when he definitively chose the quartet as his privileged and exclusive means of intimate expression\, experimentation and constant formal work. Beethoven entrusted these quartets with his most extreme thoughts\, his anxieties\, his deepest reflections\, and a humour that was at times dark and sardonic\, at times genuine and good-natured. \nIn Op. 132 in particular\, he manages to reconcile sonata form\, Gregorian chant (the Lydian mode of the Canzona di ringraziamento\, the evocative title of the third movement)\, variation\, folk dance (in the formidable trio of the second movement)\, march and rondo. The Fugue Op. 133\, on the other hand\, is an extraordinarily complex\, even mysterious piece: ignored for a century and rediscovered in the 20th century\, it is now considered one of the greatest and most surprising musical creations of all time. \nThe musical event will be preceded by a meeting dedicated to the venue\, Intorno allo CSAC (Around the CSAC)\, curated by Mariapia Branchi\, head of the CSAC’s Archival and Museum Unit. The topic will be Migliaia di Collezioni (Thousands of Collections)\, closely linked to Luigi Magnani\, a great collector. \nInfo: csac@unipr.it ; tel. 0521.903649 \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInfo: www.csacparma.it\, csac@unipr.it\, servizimuseali@csacparma.it

SUMMARY:MUST\, Italy's first Museum of Natural Historiography\, opens its doors
DESCRIPTION:The MUST\, the Museum of Natural Historiography of the University of Parma (Via Università\, 12)\, has been inaugurated. Modern\, immersive\, sensory and inclusive: strongly desired by the University and financed by the PNRR of the Ministry of Culture\, the new exhibition is the result of the redevelopment of the University’s Natural Historiography Museum – now housed in a single\, fully accessible location – and is unprecedented in Italy\, as the entire collection has been expanded and rearranged into a grand naturalistic narrative that\, following a timeline\, chronologically reveals its scientific\, technological\, historical and aesthetic development through the lives and collections of its protagonists. It is not a revolution\, therefore\, but a true evolution\, since the exhibition is completely immersed in its historical context and\, through evocative displays\, shows how the vision of nature and\, with it\, the concept of exhibition design has changed over the centuries\, from the first private collections to the museum as a public institution. \n‘What we are proposing with MUST\,’ explains Paolo Martelli\, Rector of the University of Parma\, “is not just a renovated museum but a new one: characterised by a new vision\, a new approach\, a new organisation of materials and a new underlying spirit. An inclusive\, accessible\, immersive space\, not only for contemplation but also for interaction\, not static but dynamic: a living space that aims to be a 360-degree cultural hub and an important point of reference for the city\, the region and beyond. We strongly believe in this\, not least because this museum is part of the city’s heritage and houses an extremely valuable cultural corpus: with this intervention\, we have sought to enhance it to the fullest. \n‘Rethinking the Natural History Museum was a fascinating challenge\,’ says Davide Persico\, Scientific Director of MUST. “The analysis of the collections and the continuous dialogue with the concept of time led us to favour a historiographical approach\, capable of highlighting the protagonists who founded and transformed the museum. This vision gave rise to the Museum of Natural Historiography\, a unique institution in Italy and abroad. The exhibition recounts the lives of the figures who have marked its history\, the transformation of scientific knowledge throughout different eras and the evolution of natural history museums from their origins to the present day. The result is an innovative project that combines memory\, research and dissemination\, becoming a real feather in the cap for the University and a new cultural and educational destination for the city of Parma.” \nThe inauguration will take place on Thursday\, 30 October. The first stop is in the Aula Magna\, with speeches by Rector Paolo Martelli\, Delegate for Museum Activities Donato A. Grasso\, Scientific Director of MUST Davide Persico\, and architect Maria Amarante\, who curated the exhibition\, followed by a lecture entitled “Uomini da quando? (Humans since when?)” by Guido Barbujani\, geneticist and professor at the University of Ferrara. This was followed by the ribbon cutting and the inaugural guided tour. \nHere is the programme for the coming days \n31st October. This is an “educational day” dedicated to scientific dissemination and discovery at MUST\, with a packed schedule of activities designed for students of all levels\, but also open to the general public: meetings\, conferences and guided tours taking place in the university classrooms and museum exhibition spaces\, covering naturalistic\, historical and museum-related topics. \n1st November. The doors of MUST will open to the public with a day of free admission and guided tours available upon reservation: an opportunity to explore the collections and learn about the history\, science and curiosities they contain. \nThe Museum of Natural Historiography \nContemplation\, interaction\, immersion and\, above all\, inclusion. These are the key principles that led to the creation of MUST\, a lively space entirely geared towards visitors\, capable of evoking the past as the cornerstone for the creation of the museum of the future. The term Naturalistic Historiography – most likely used for the first time – emphasises how\, through a journey through time\, it is possible to recount the protagonists\, their work and their vision of Natural History in different eras. Thus\, the intertwining stories of the figures who founded and contributed to the growth of the former Natural History Museum of the University of Parma\, from the second half of the 18th century to the present day\, and their collections are recontextualised and enhanced by a chronological\, historiographical and sensory journey of great impact and modernity\, in step with the evolution of knowledge and modern sensibilities. In a unique location at the University’s headquarters (the previous museum was fragmented into two locations)\, MUST also serves as a new space for scientific\, anthropological and other types of research\, with a focus on disseminating the principles of biodiversity\, environmental protection and cultural exchange\, and as a starting point for new intersections between museum collections and debates on sustainability and the role of the scientific community in relation to society. \nFrom a museological point of view\, this was made possible by comparing and implementing the different theoretical positions on exhibition design that have emerged in recent years\, leading to the isolation and enhancement of three main values at MUST: \n\ncontemplation\, guaranteed by the exhibition layout. The collection comprises around 6\,000 items on display\, many of which were previously inaccessible but have now been restored to their former glory and given new importance and prestige through their enhanced positioning;\nInteraction\, based on the presentation of concepts (display of knowledge\, scientific approach\, performance space\, dialogic logic)\, with the introduction of multimedia elements that create a direct relationship between the visitor and the story being told. In this specific case\, these are animated scenes\, with the protagonists of the various sections – played by actors in costume – recounting their collections in the first person\, but also describing the characteristics of the museum in its own era according to contemporary tastes and sensibilities;\nthe immersion\, which stems from the exhibition of environmental installations\, as is the case with the two spectacular wunderkammern\, the salon of Maria Luigia of Habsburg and the studies of Pellegrino Strobel and Angelo Andres\, capable of guaranteeing visitors a total aesthetic experience\, catapulting them into the atmosphere of the time in a fascinating journey through the centuries.\n\nIn terms of accessibility\, MUST far surpasses the previous museum\, removing physical\, cognitive and sensory barriers to allow all types of visitors to enjoy a fully independent visit. This has been made possible by creating a barrier-free access route on both levels of the museum building: on the ground floor\, the single entrance\, marked by a tactile floor path\, benefits from a new ramp and lift adapted to the needs of visitors with motor and sensory disabilities; on the first floor\, sensory and cognitive accessibility to the collections is guaranteed by the installation of new display cases at a height suitable for children and visitors in wheelchairs\, the introduction of tactile maps and detailed audio guides for the visually impaired\, and the use of digital explanatory aids that allow the deaf to enjoy videos in Italian Sign Language (LIS). \nThe stages of wonder \nThe extraordinary journey of MUST begins on the ground floor of the main building of the University of Parma and takes place on two levels. The collection is revealed to visitors through seven themed display cases dealing with highly topical naturalistic issues – anthropogenic and climatic extinctions; environmental protection and sustainability; museums and biodiversity; CITES and illegal trade; private collecting; geographical expeditions; evolution – which aim to introduce visitors to the more immersive and structured tour of the upper floor. Also on the ground floor is a palaeontology section\, with significant and impressive finds\, including a dolphin bearing the marks of predation by a great white shark – the only one of its kind in the world – and the extraordinary\, almost complete skeleton of an eight-metre whale\, both dating from the Pliocene epoch (2.6-5.3 million years ago)\, fossils from the Po floods and Pleistocene mammals.\nOn the upper floor\, the promise of a primarily sensory journey through the past\, present and future is revealed with incontrovertible clarity to visitors\, who immediately enter a huge\, spectacular purple wunderkammer\, the historical ancestor of every natural history museum\, created in classic Renaissance style with objects from the University’s various historical collections. Crocodiles\, sea turtles\, leopards\, giant shells\, colourful birds\, strange deformed creatures\, corals\, sponges\, skeletons\, skulls… everything in this environment – where the exhibition space is maximised to occupy every surface of the room\, from the walls inside the cabinets to the barrel ceiling – contributes to creating wonder and curiosity. \nProceeding on the left\, the wunderkammer offers a digression – access is not mandatory\, due to sensitive content – in favour of Lorenzo Tenchini‘s anatomical-clinical collection of wax models dating back to the late 19th century. Tenchini was a highly skilled physician who produced facial masks of criminals following the physiognomic and criminological theories of Cesare Lombroso\, to whom he supplied them. At the end of the hall of wonders are the famous glass ampoules with stems by Father Jean Baptiste Fourcault\, dated between 1760 and 1770: a collection of taxidermied animals\, placed in bottles with necks too narrow to insert them\, whose creation has remained a mystery for almost three centuries. It is the friar himself – the first founder of an ornithological cabinet in Parma commissioned by the Bourbons – who tells visitors his story from an animated painting\, as does Maria Luigia of Habsburg in the next room\, who expertly and elegantly introduces her delightful “period salon”\, a room decorated in shades of blue\, like a noble house\, populated by the enormous quantity of artefacts that characterised her reign and her prolific acquisition work (1816-1847)\, of which the Egyptian goat\, the narwhal tooth and the Borgo San Donnino meteorite\, which fell in Fidenza in 1808\, are particularly noteworthy. The largest section of the MUST collection dates back to the Louis period: crossing the threshold at the exit of Maria Luigia’s drawing room\, visitors enter the ancient gallery of the Natural History Museum\, a vast and dense exhibition of artefacts\, including a section dedicated to comparative anatomy\, which bears witness to a historical moment already characterised by a precise division of the sciences\, but also by a display method that still reflects a strong aesthetic component. \nThe layout of the exhibition underwent a significant change in 1859\, the year Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species was published and Professor Pellegrino Strobel arrived in Parma as a lecturer at the University and director of the Natural History Museum. A progressive and visionary figure\, Strobel immediately understood Darwin’s evolutionary theories and applied them to the exhibition system of his museum\, giving it a completely unexpected modernity. The MUST recounts the stages of this process through the specimens collected and observed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace\, the zoological illustrations of Ernst Haeckel and the meticulous installation of Strobel’s own study. Turning right in the gallery\, the MUST offers a substantial zoological and ethnographic collection – also created under Strobel – which recounts colonialism and ethnography thanks to collections from the Congo belonging to the soldier Emilio Piola and the magistrate Temistocle Ferrante (first room) and the section dedicated to Vittorio Bottego (second room)\, with a vast taxidermy collection from Eritrea and a documentary film that contextualises Bottego as a military man in the service of science\, rather than the heroic explorer of the African continent historically portrayed by Italian regime propaganda. \nLeaving this section\, visitors return to the main gallery to view the Alberto Del Prato collection\, a sort of flashback to the biodiversity of the province of Parma in the second half of the 19th century\, with a rich series of vertebrates from the Parma area\, some of which are very curious because they are now extinct. The exhibition then reaches its penultimate stage with a reconstruction of the study of Professor and Director Angelo Andres\, who in 1925 was the architect of the last museum revolution before the birth of the MUST. a great expert in biology and marine fauna – whose photographs and coral collection can be admired – it is with him\, through the canonical animated picture\, that visitors take stock of the itinerary they have just completed. \nThe final act of the journey is a sort of abrupt and dreamlike return to the future\, an intelligent circularity. An enormous Kubrickian monolith stands out in front of the visitor\, inviting them to enter what is effectively a second wunderkammer\, hypermodern and futuristic\, where\, free of any classification or information\, in a riot of colours\, there are almost three hundred entomological boxes: this is the collection of local and exotic lepidoptera and beetles created by Don Ezio Boarini and acquired by the Museum in the 1990s\, now on display for the first time in all its spectacular entirety. \n

SUMMARY:Until 24 October: Giorgio Armani\, a tribute by the University of Parma and CSAC
DESCRIPTION:The University of Parma and the CSAC (Centre for Studies and Archives of Communication) pay tribute to Giorgio Armani a few days after his passing. \nFrom 22 September to 24 October\, a selection of reproductions from the more than 8\,000 drawings\, sketches\, and other material in the Giorgio Armani Collection\, personally donated by the designer to the CSAC in the 1980s\, will be on display in the Cloister of the University’s D’Azeglio Complex. The material selected covers the years from 1975 to 1980. \nThe title of this special initiative is a phrase that the great designer often used with his staff\, and which he also repeated in several interviews: If I like it\, you must like it too. \nThe inauguration was held on Monday 22 September\, with speeches by Rector Paolo Martelli and Deputy Director of the CSAC Sara Martin.\nAmong those present was Barbara Lori\, Vice-President of the Legislative Assembly of the Emilia-Romagna Region. \nThe reproductions\, displayed in the cloister and accessible to all interested parties during the venue’s opening hours\, offer a glimpse into the early stages of Armani’s creative process\, highlighting the distinctive features of his style. \nThe original drawings\, created using mixed techniques on paper and cardboard\, are often accompanied by notes and fabric samples\, and many bear the original stamp of the fashion house. This material is a valuable testimony to Armani’s working method and aesthetic vision. \nThe tribute celebrates the creative genius of one of the most iconic figures in Italian fashion worldwide. The slender\, stylised female figures in the drawings recall the visual culture of the 1930s and the graphic inventions of artists such as Guido Crepax. \nThe 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. \nThe suit\, reinterpreted through the famous unstructured jacket\, becomes a symbol of contemporary feminine elegance\, while the men’s proposals\, far from classic rigidity\, inaugurate an innovative vision of fashion\, where gender codes intertwine and are redefined. \nThe inauguration on Monday 22 September was an opportunity to announce an exhibition of Armani’s original sketches\, to be held at the University’s headquarters in the coming months.

SUMMARY:"Intorno ai ’70: ideologie\, progetti\, linguaggi nelle collezioni CSAC":The exhibition at Palazzo Pigorini
DESCRIPTION:It is a sort of ‘dissertation through images’ on the 1970s\, the second exhibition of the triptych envisaged by the collaboration betweeCSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione of the Parma Univertity and the Municipality of Parma – Assessorato alla Cultura. After the exhibition “Visioni (im)possibili” of 2024\, which focused on the 1960s seen ‘from a Bauhaus point of view’\, here we are with “Intorno ai ’70″\, a journey through ideologies\, projects and languages from the CSAC collections\, which anticipates the final stage of the journey\, a survey of the 1980s that will be staged in 2026. \n\n\nIntorno ai ’70: ideologie\, progetti\, linguaggi nelle collezioni CSAC will be open on the first floor of Palazzo Pigorini from 1 March to 4 May. \nCurated by CSAC Director Cristina Casero\, lecturer in History of Contemporary Art at the University of Parma\, and by CSAC\, in collaboration with the City of Parma\, it offers an in-depth look at a decade in which artists\, photographers\, stylists\, designers and planners intercepted the tensions and social upheavals and in a broader cultural sense\, that erupted during 1968 and interpreted the utopias that swept through civil society\, often also giving voice to the increasingly widespread discontent in Italian society\, caught between modernity and problems that\, never dormant\, are now overbearingly exploding. \nThese are years in which many certainties are being questioned\, starting with some of the more traditional institutions. In this climate\, those professionally involved in visual communication\, art and design\, are questioning their own role. \nIn a society that commodifies even the artistic act\, the desire is to stimulate critical thought and reflection\, interpreting the innovative season that the country is going through\, and to renew languages in function of a more direct relationship with the public. \nIn the halls of Palazzo Pigorini\, the works of artists\, designers\, photographers\, illustrators and stylists dialogue with each other\, giving visitors a mosaic rich in suggestions and food for thought and highlighting the plurality of visual languages that permeated Italy in the 1970s. From the photographs of Mario Cresci and the Publifoto Roma agency to the sketches of Walter Albini\, Giorgio Armani\, Brunetta and Krizia\, from the design icons of Achille Castiglioni\, Alessandro Mendini\, Roberto Menghi\, Alberto Rosselli and Ettore Sottsass Jr. to the satire of Alfredo Chiappori and Felis to the works of Enrico Baj\, Emilio Isgrò\, Ugo La Pietra\, Mimmo Rotella\, Mario Schifano and Emilio Vedova. \nIn autumn\, a second exhibition dedicated to the 1970s will be set up at the Valserena Abbey\, CSAC’s headquarters\, with the aim of further exploring the themes investigated in the exhibition at Palazzo Pigorini. \nINFO \nIntorno ai 70: ideologie\, progetti e linguaggi nelle collezioni CSAC\ncurated by Cristina Casero and CSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione of the University of Parma\nin collaboration with the Municipality of Parma\nPalazzo Pigorini\, Strada della Repubblica 29/A\, 43121 Parma\, first floor \nExhibition opening: 1 March – 4 May 2025\nOpening hours: Wednesday – Sunday and public holidays 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. (last admission to the exhibition 6.30 p.m.).

The exhibitions have as their generating element the works and documents selected from the CSAC collections and aim to shed light not only on the major themes of the cultural debate of the identified period\, but also on social and political dynamics\, the transformations of the languages of communication and the complex and biunivocal relations between art and industry\, design and mass culture\, document and narration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVai al blocco 0 del carouselVai al blocco 1 del carousel

SUMMARY:Until 31 January the travelling exhibition "Aree verdi di Ateneo – Gestione\, fruizione\, sostenibilità”
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, our university has made efforts to upgrade its green spaces\, improve their quality and integrate them more effectively into normal teaching\, research and third mission activities. \nSome of these actions are beginning to become visible\, such as the new styles of lawn care at the Science and Technology Campus. Of others\, the Botanical Garden for example\, building sites are becoming visible\, some of which are close to closure. In other cases\, work is underway to provide us with new rules for a management that is attentive to the needs of the environment and of anyone who directly or indirectly uses the University’s spaces. \nIn fact\, all the interventions correspond to a common and coordinated intent: to devote the right care to sustainability and improve the impact of our actions according to scientifically correct dictates\, while always keeping in mind the requirements of practicality\, usability and functionality typical of spaces for collective use. \nIt is a work that involves the Ateneo Sostenibile Group with concrete and guiding actions\, implemented and planned in several locations\, whose effectiveness cannot disregard the involvement of all the people who work and attend the University of Parma: lecturers\, technical-administrative staff\, students and students. \n“Aree verdi di Ateneo – Gestione\, fruizione\, sostenibilità” the title of the exhibition. \nFour totems\, which will also be exhibited in other University buildings during 2025\, will illustrate four different interventions in different locations and typologies\, but united by a single vision and a common thread: care\, study and use of grassy areas (also with circularity criteria and Citizen Science actions); improvement of the energy performance of buildings through green walls and the creation of a living lab in the Engineering Department; regeneration of greenhouses\, buildings and the Botanical Garden. \nWhen: 16 December 2024 to 31 January 2025\nWhere: St. Elisabeth Centre – Science and Technology Campus \n

SUMMARY:MUST is born: Italy's first Museum of Natural History. Watch the video!
DESCRIPTION:Italy’s first Museum of Natural History is being set up at the University of Parma: MUST.\nA museum that is accessible to all\, with special attention to those with sensory and mobility difficulties\, and which aims to be a great natural history tale along the timeline. Work is ongoing and the opening is scheduled for June 2025. \nOn Tuesday 12 November\, in the Aula Magna of the University\, the presentation of the project was held\, with speeches by the Rector Paolo Martelli\, the Delegate for Museum Activities Donato Antonio Grasso\, the Head of the Area for Relations with Society Riccardo Marini\, the Scientific Director of MUST Davide Persico\, the expert in exhibition valorisation Maria Amarante and Sandrino Luigi Marra\, in charge of the MUST’s soft decolonisation process. Deputy Pro-rector Fabrizio Storti also spoke at the meeting. \nThanks to a PNRR grant from the Ministry of Culture\, a process of complete renovation and rethinking of the University’s Natural History Museum has begun: at the end of this process\, the MUST will be created. \nIn the Museum of Natural History\, located in the University’s main building since the end of the 18th century\, the accessibility of the museum’s holdings was limited by the spatial dispersion of the collections and laboratories over several buildings and several vertical levels\, which particularly penalised visitors with mobility impairments. The new project will make it possible to create a museum organised to be accessible to all and sundry\, with collections also set up to disseminate the principles of biodiversity\, environmental protection and cultural exchange The project is also intended to be a driving force for the museum collections to intersect with debates on sustainability and the role of the scientific community in relation to society. \nThe collections will be integrated in a single location in the University’s main building\, breaking down motor\, cognitive and sensory barriers to allow all audiences to visit independently\, and also enhancing educational activities. The intervention consists of the creation of an independent\, barrier-free access route on two levels: ground floor and first floor. On the ground floor\, a layout will be created along the perimeter corridor\, where materials representative of the collections previously decentralised in various locations will be relocated. On the first floor\, a single entrance will be created\, also signalled by a tactile footpath\, with stairs and a lift suitable for motor and sensory disabled people. Sensory and cognitive accessibility to the collections will be improved by using new display cases of a height suitable for children and wheelchair users\, thus enhancing the quality of the visitor experience for the entire public. Digital explanatory aids will be used. \nIn MUST\, the idea was to describe Natural History through a historiographical chronological path\, represented by the personalities who founded and contributed to the growth and evolution of the Museum. From Father Fourcault\, who will welcome visitors by recounting the time when he started a small collection of natural history exhibits in 1768\, to Duchess Maria Luigia of Austria\, who between 1816 and 1847 did her utmost to increase the collections and who will tell visitors about her love of the natural world: what enabled the original nucleus to be enriched with important exhibits\, considered extremely rare and fascinating at the time\, such as an ostrich specimen\, a kangaroo\, a narwhal tooth\, birds of paradise and the precious San Donnino meteorite (Fidenza\, 1808). Other guides of the museum will be other of its ‘fathers’: from Pellegrino Strobel to Alberto Del Prato and Angelo Andres. \nAt the opening of the tour\, there will be a re-enactment of the wunderkammer\, an exhibition hall ‘of wonders’ whose purpose was to stimulate the amazement of those who crossed its threshold: artefacts and objects of all kinds\, heterogeneous and spectacular\, will occupy all the surfaces of the hall\, the inside of the cupboards and the barrel ceiling\, just as happened in the Scholars’ Palaces from the 16th century onwards. And in closing there will be a new\, modern wunderkammer: a cubic room that will welcome visitors in an astonishing immersive vision of a thousand colours\, in the splendid collection of butterflies and beetles that belonged to Don Boarini and was acquired by the Museum in the 1990s. \nThere will be a section of human anatomy\, with a room dedicated to the work of anatomist Lorenzo Tenchini and his wax masks made on commission by Cesare Lombroso\, a room of comparative anatomy\, an ethnographic section\, and much more\, in a tour that promises to be truly a journey of wonders. \nThe layout will be totally revolutionised compared to the Natural History Museum\, and will be aimed at enhancing the heritage in a totally immersive approach. \nFollow the presentation

SUMMARY:"Community Specific Archive": until 6 October\, the exhibition at the CSAC
DESCRIPTION:Community Specific Archive collects a series of photographs by Paola Di Bello and a video-installation by Valerio Rocco Orlando born from the artists’ confrontation with the CSAC archive and with the students of the Three-year BA Program in Communication and Contemporary Media for the Creative Industries at the University of Parma The Community Specific Archive project was selected within the framework of the public notice PAC2022-2023 – Plan for Contemporary Art\, promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture\, on the proposal of the CSAC Centre of Studies and Communication Archive – University of Parma. Through a series of workshops\, the artists developed a research based on self-awareness and knowledge sharing\, valorising the collection of the Study Centre and Communication Archive of the University of Parma as a trigger for the work. The result is a new production focused on the identity dimension of the territory\, capable of reflecting the instances and urgencies of local society.For this occasion Paola Di Bello and Valerio Rocco Orlando produced a series of works composed of static images and moving images capable of resonating with the archive\, the university and the city of Parma. The work expresses the synthesis of a participatory process flowing into a photographic production consisting of a series of collages\, the result of a visual dialogue with the students\, which draws on the photographic section used as raw material.\nThe archive comes out and returns to it revitalised and re-actualised. In parallel\, the video installation expresses the formal synthesis of a pedagogical methodology based on the practice of active listening\, on non-creative writing exercises and on dramaturgical and audiovisual reworking as a collective action. With the acquisition of this new corpus of works from the Centre’s heritage\, the hope is to provide a useful key to penetrate and reread the complexity of the archive itself\, in order to prolong its life by mending ties with the everyday life of its inhabitants. For the occasion\, a publication published by Silvana Editoriale will be produced. In addition\, as part of the project\, on Tuesday 17 September 2024 at 11 a.m.\, in the Mulas Lecture Hall of the University of Parma\, a round table on the topics discussed will be organised in the presence of the artists\, the curator and researchers Guido Mannucci and Kevin McManus. Exhibition curated by Cristina Casero. \nPaola Di Bello (Naples\, 1961) is an artist and Professor of Photography at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts\, where she directs the Photography Department. Her research well represents the trajectories that photography has taken in the last thirty years\, directing its interests towards installation-based operating methods\, the result of the hybridisation between the conceptual vocation of previous generations and the social investigation that sees man and context at the centre of its interests. \nValerio Rocco Orlando (Milan\, 1978) is an artist\, lecturer in Multimedia Dramaturgy at the Brera Academy and doctoral student in Architectural and Urban Planning Engineering at the Sapienza University of Rome. Through practices ranging from workshops to video installations\, his research takes art as a process of mutual analysis and knowledge and explores the osmosis between institutions\, museums\, academia and the social sphere. \nParticipants: Wafa Arfaoui\, Silvia Balzarini\, Jacopo Botto\, Simone Cangiati\, Marzia Carpitella\, Giulia Conte\, Gaia Conti\, Gabriele Dalla Grana\, Vladyslava Dovzhyk\, Alice Dugaria\, Liam Falleri\, Rachele Ferrari\, Claudio Magnano\, Dominique Montanari\, Sofia Piana\, Alexia Piazza\, Chiara Solari. \nQuando: 14 September – 6 October 2024 \nDove: CSAC – Abbey of Valserena – Via Viazza di Paradigna\, 1 – Parma

SUMMARY:Until 1 September the exhibition  'Ugo Sterpini: l'ecart absolu' opens at the CSAC
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “UGO STERPINI – l’écart absolu” It was inaugurated on Saturday 15 June at the CSAC of the University of Parma\, in the Sala delle Colonne of the Valserena Abbey. \nThe exhibition explores the profound connection between the artist and the Surrealist movement\, on the occasion of the centenary of the movement’s foundation: Sterpini’s interest in Surrealism pervades much of his artistic career\, as demonstrated by his personal library\, full of critical texts\, plays\, novels and poems that nourished his imagination. \nThe works on display date mainly from the early 1960s\, a period when Sterpini was closest to the movement in which he actively participated and was considered among the official members\, as documented by his correspondence with André Breton\, Jose Pierre and Arturo Schwartz. \nTra le opere esposte\, Primavera insidiata del 1964 segna l’incontro con Breton e mostra evidenti influenze surrealiste. The 1966 series Fantasia Feminilil  mixes elements of Pop Art and references to  Xavièr Gauthier’s ‘Surrealism and Sexuality’\, exploring eros as the driving force behind the Surrealist movement. \nAlong the way is The Throne of Ubu\, a work exhibited among the Surrealist ‘meubles’ at the last major exhibition dedicated to the movement in 1965 in Paris\, and a selection of furniture with anthropomorphic features from the same period. \nThe exhibition concludes with a screening of the Surrealist short film Un chien andalou by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí\, made in 1929 and reworked in 1960\, which well represents the dreamlike\, delirious and psychoanalytic themes typical of the movement. \nSterpini’s affiliation with Surrealism\, although apparently late\, is profound and dictated by a genuine desire to know and share the movement’s fundamental principles. \nSterpini leaves behind an important artistic legacy with works donated to the Communication Studies and Archive Centre of the University of Parma\, which preserves a fund of over one hundred works and a selection of volumes from his personal library. In 2003\, CSAC dedicated a major monographic exhibition to him. \nUGO STERPINI – l’écart absolu\nby Giulia Ferrari  \n16 June – 1 September 2024\nCSAC Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione dell’Università di Parma\nAbbey of Valserena\nStrada Viazza di Paradigna 1\, 43122 Parma \nMuseum opening hours:\nFriday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.\nSaturday and Sunday 10 am-7pm \nEntrance:\nFull price ticket 10 euro\nFor info and reductions: https://www.csacparma.it/visita/ \nFor information and reservations:\nCSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione dell’Università di Parma\ncsac@unipr.it\nservizimuseali@csacunipr.it\n+ 39 0521 903649

SUMMARY:"Planimetrie naturali": the exhibition at the CSAC until 9 June
DESCRIPTION:Opened in the Sala delle Colonne of CSAC the photographic exhibition “Planimetria Naturali: Ghirri\, Giacomelli\, Guerzoni\, Archivio”\, curated by Paolo Barbaro and Margherita Zazzero. \nStarting from the knot between nature and artifice\, controlled figurative action and the form of the uncontrollable or the unconscious\, a small sample of works from the CSAC archives is presented with the common suggestion of the conventional representation of territory\, the plan\, the map\, matter and time that transforms. The exhibition will feature works by Mario Giacomelli and Luigi Ghirri\, two very different and in many ways opposing researches on the landscape\, so much so that they appear as mirror images\, but with sometimes coinciding outcomes. These parts of important photographic research are juxtaposed with the work ‘The Forgotten Wall’ that Franco Guerzoni donated to the CSAC in 2004\, on the occasion of the exhibition dedicated to him. \nCompleting the exhibition are digitised images taken from gelatin bromide glass negative plates from the Villani and Publifoto archives\, which\, due to their state of preservation\, had been piled up waiting to be disposed of; these materials\, usually considered as -scrap-\, were recovered by the CSAC together with the rest of the respective archives. \n“Planimetrie naturali” \nCurated by Paolo Barbaro and Margherita Zazzero \nOpening: Saturday 11 May\, 5 pm\nExhibition opening: 11 May to 9 June 2024\nWhere: CSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione\nAbbazia di Valserena\nStrada Viazza di Paradigna\, 1\, 43122 Parma

SUMMARY:“Visioni (im)possibili. Comunicazione\, utopia\, progetto in the CSAC collections". The exhibition until 21 April
DESCRIPTION:It is called Visioni (im)possibili the starting exhibition of a three-year collaboration linking the Communication Studies and Archive Centre – CSAC of the University of Parmaand the Municipality of Parma – Culture Department. A project that starts with a focus on the 1960s seen “in Bauhaus terms” and then unravels over the next few years to the 1970s and 1980s. \nAt the heart of the initiatives are the inexhaustible collections that CSAC can boast\, an extraordinary treasure trove of more than 12 million items. \nFirst stage Visioni (im)possibiliin a format that will be repeated in the next two years: a double exhibition\, one at the Valserena Abbey (CSAC headquarters) and one in a municipal exhibition space\, each offering a different interpretation of the title\, in a virtuous ping-pong game played on the red thread of the visual arts. \nAt Palazzo Pigorini\, right in the historic centre\, from 20 January to 24 March is the scene Visioni (im)possibili. Spazio\, luce\, movimento in the CSAC collections.\nAt Valserena Abbey\, from 21 January to 21 April\, Visioni (im)possibili. Comunicazione\, utopia\, progetto in the CSAC collections. \nThe exhibition at Palazzo Pigorini is dedicated to works of kinetic\, programmed and visual art\, all playing on the interaction between space\, light and movement. La mostra esplora\, attraverso le raccolte CSAC\, le ricerche artistiche che si sono affermate nel panorama nazionale e internazionale tra la fine degli anni Cinquanta e gli anni Sessanta e che hanno posto al centro della propria attività il rapporto tra arte e tecnologia\, la dimensione progettuale e il lavoro di gruppo\, proponendo nuovi metodi di visione del reale e una relazione attiva tra opera e spettatore.\nThe selected works\, created by some of the leading Italian and international exponents of these trends (Getulio Alviani\, Davide Boriani\, Ennio Chiggio\, Gianni Colombo\, Hugo Demarco\, Gabriele Devecchi\, Juraj Dobrović\, Horacio Garcia Rossi\, Enzo Mari\, Manfredo Massironi\, Bruno Munari\, Grazia Varisco)\, include both static works that generate optical effects and thus convey an idea of dynamism to the viewer\, as well as aesthetic and interactive objects that give rise to real movement through the use of electric motors and light sources. In mostra molti lavori riferibili al contesto della celebre esposizione Arte Programmata. Arte cinetica\, opere moltiplicate\, opera aperta (1962)\, curata da Munari e Giorgio Soavi nei negozi Olivetti di Milano\, Venezia e Roma. \nL’esposizione dell’Abbazia di Valserena riflette\, in prospettiva storica\, su quale sia stata l’eredità del Bauhaus\, della sua lezione che pone la comunicazione visiva al servizio della società. Grazie alla ricchezza delle collezioni CSAC\, ne è scaturito un percorso di rilettura della sperimentazione creativa in particolare degli anni Sessanta\, un momento in cui l’arte\, la moda\, la fotografia\, l’editoria e la progettazione si sono sempre più confrontate a vicenda\, in una dimensione caratterizzata da una forte attenzione al sociale\, spesso carica anche di tensioni utopiche. Si va dal superamento dell’informale – con l’intento prioritario di riportare l’opera d’arte in una relazione stretta con il pubblico\, invitato a “mettersi in gioco” nell’esperienza estetica – alle influenze pop\, optical e spaziali nella moda\, fino alla produzione in serie con i nuovi materiali plastici e alle nuove tendenze del disegno progettuale.\nIn mostra i lavori di alcuni dei più illustri artisti\, designer e progettisti di quegli anni: da Lucio Fontana a Enrico Castellani\, da Gio Pomodoro a Bruno Munari\, e poi Mario Schifano\, Giosetta Fioroni\, Enzo Mari\, Luigi Veronesi\, Franco Grignani\, Mario Giacomelli\, Carlo Cisventi\, Pier Luigi Nervi\, Roberto Sambonet\, Gio Ponti. \nVisitors will also be able to make use of an app\, realised by CSAC and previewed on the occasion of this exhibition\, which will accompany them along the route\, facilitating access to additional and in-depth content\, which can be activated in reading\, audio and LIS language mode from personal devices and free of charge. The app was developed by CSAC as part of a PNRR project on accessibility\, welcoming and sharing museum heritage funded by the Ministry of Culture. \nBoth exhibitions (Valserena and Palazzo Pigorini) are accompanied by an Electa catalogue\, on sale at the CSAC and in bookshops (€ 62) \nThe exhibition in Palazzo Pigorini is free\, the one in Valserena has a charge. I visitatori di Palazzo Pigorini potranno ricevere gratuitamente una cartolina lenticolare\, che darà diritto a uno sconto alla mostra di Valserena. \nINFO \nVisioni (im)possibili\nSpazio\, luce\, movimento in the CSAC collections\nby Alessandra Acocella and CSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione\nPalazzo Pigorini\, Strada della Repubblica 29/A\, 43121 Parma\nExhibition opening: 20 January – 24 March 2024\nOpening hours: Wednesday – Sunday 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. (last entrance at 6.30 p.m.)\nFree entry\npigorini@comune.parma.it\nwww.comune.parma.it/cultura \nVisioni (im)possibili\nComunicazione\, utopia\, progetto in the CSAC collections\nby CSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione Università di Parma\nAbbazia di Valserena\, Strada viazza di Paradigna 1\, 43122 Parma\nExhibition opening: 21 January – 21 April 2024\nOpening hours: Friday 9 am – 3 pm\, Saturday and Sunday 10 am – 7 pm\nEntrance charge\nfull price 10 €\ndiscounted 5 € (with Pigorini postcard)\nstudents 5 €\nschools 3 €\nservizimuseali@csacparma.it\nhttps://www.csacparma.it/\nYou can also follow CSAC on FB and Instagram\n#csac #newbauhaus #europe

SUMMARY:Closed\, on 1 April\, with great success the exhibition 'Impronte. Noi e le piante': over 21\,000 visitors
DESCRIPTION:Over 21\,000 people visited ‘Impronte – Noi e le Piante‘\, the exhibition organised by the  University of Parma’s Sistema Museale di Ateneo between 13 January and 1 April at the Palazzo del Governatore. A decidedly positive result\, which rewards the choice of integrating modern and ancient materials\, local collections and ‘pieces’ from other institutions\, creating a rich and multifaceted itinerary centred on the innate beauty of the plant kingdom and scientific research. \nThe exhibition was realised in collaboration with the Municipality of Parma and the Botanical Garden of the University of Padua\, under the patronage of National Geographic Italia and Le Scienze\, and thanks to the fundamental support of Fondazione Cariparma\, Gruppo Chiesi and Davines Group. \nBy reconstructing the scientific album of our relationships with plants from the 15th century to the present day\, ‘Impronte’ recounted in parallel the evolution of visual representation technologies\, the succession of discoveries and the gradual transformation of the very idea of the plant among researchers\, researchers and the public. Visitors were literally able to browse through the magnificent images on display as in a sort of family album\, discovering rigorous and fascinating illustrations\, exotic and precise prints\, pyrotechnic and unexpected photographs\, books and herbaria that speak of places and people\, bringing order to utilities\, discoveries\, biodiversity\, ecology and experimental data that become aesthetics. By inviting us to follow the footprints that so many different disciplines have left behind\, the exhibition highlighted how much the answers to non-trivial and evidently deeply felt questions have changed over time\, starting with what a plant really is and how it relates to the world. \nThe exhibition\, based on more than 200 objects\, was appreciated for the presence of material from local institutions (Convitto Maria Luigia\, Biblioteca Palatina\, Fondazione Cariparma\, Orto Botanico) as well as from nationally important institutions. This very aspect represents an important legacy for the University Museum System and for the city. “Impronte’ not only fascinated the people who visited it\, but also laid the foundations for a better valorisation of Parma’s historical and botanical heritage. In this sense\, a further prestigious achievement is the signing of a framework agreement between the University of Parma and the University of Padua for the joint development of museum activities centred on their respective botanical gardens. This choice revived relations that were already strong at the end of the 18th century\, when Gianbattista Guatteri\, before founding the current Botanical Garden of Parma\, was sent to Padua to learn and transfer the essence of the world’s oldest botanical garden. \nConfirming the success of the exhibition and the content offered by ‘Impronte’ is also the trend in visits\, which gradually increased over the weeks until reaching the final figure of 21\,423.This is a sign of an important appreciation and word of mouth that has gone hand in hand with constant media attention. \nThe numbers for groups and schools were also significant: more than 100 groups took advantage of the guided tours and educational workshops\, also arriving from outside Parma\, testifying to an attraction that did not only concern the city.\nOver a thousand children and girls participated in the workshops. And over 300 attended the side events at the exhibition. \nThe public success of ‘Impronte – Noi e le Piante’ represents an important basis for the future of the University of Parma Museum System. In fact\, the layout and the decision to focus on the relationships between people and plants anticipate the cornerstone on which the Botanical Garden’s cultural and scientific offer will soon hinge\, the subject of an extensive restoration and redevelopment project financed with public and private funds.

SUMMARY:Walter Albini: the exhibition until 14 April
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition\, which opened at the CSAC in October\, can be visited until 14 April. \nThe exhibition reconstructs Albini’s work from the beginnings to the last collections made in the very early 1980s\, through a selection of materials from the Walter Albini Archive Fund held at the Csac. \nThe Csac in fact possesses one of the most exhaustive and heterogeneous archival fonds of the stylist\, comprising some five thousand design materials; donated in1983 by Paolo Rinaldi and in 1988 by Marisa Curti\, it covers a chronological span from around 1967 to 1982. \nThe materials range from youthful sketches\, which already present the designer’s poetics\, to preparatory sketches and drawings for the design of the Collections. In addition to these objects\, the exhibition will feature a selection of photographs intended for the promotion of the collections\, fashion show photographs and advertising material.

SUMMARY:The new Botanical Garden. Restoration projects visible in an exhibition.
DESCRIPTION:Opened on Tuesday 30 May\, the exhibition of the Botanical Garden restoration and enhancement projects\, wide-ranging projects that aim to make the Botanical Garden of the University of Parma not only a renovated garden but a cultural\, environmental\, sustainable pole\, resource and reference point for the city and beyond. \nTwo interventions will affect the Botanical Garden area in the coming months: \nthe historic garden enhancement project\, financed under the PNRR project ‘Programmi per la valorizzare l’identità dei luoghi: parchi e giardini storici‘\, by the Ministry of Culture.The work\, which concerns the landscaping of the garden\, is aimed at respecting biodiversity while minimising water and energy management costs. The leitmotif of the intervention is consistency: the vegetation\, naturalistic and environmental needs of the plants prevail over other aspects and the entire garden must be able to act as a ‘botanical embassy’ of the area\, as a platform for dialogue to reinforce education in a non-anthropocentric observation of the world.\nThe project takes into utmost consideration the ecological and naturalistic requirements of the site\, minimising soil consumption and reducing the impact on the root systems in the garden. The work includes the resurfacing of paths\, the construction of an irrigation system\, the creation of new flower beds with low water requirements\, the landscaping of rockeries and wetlands\, and the building of a new greenhouse to display the succulent collection\, which cannot be visited today.\nThe project is by A+C_Architettura e Città Studio Associato \nThe project to restore the historic greenhouses and the Botany School\, which benefits from a fundamental impulse by ‘Parma\, io ci sto!‘\, is co-financed by the University of Parma\, the Ministry of University and Research\, the Cariparma Foundation and the Chiesi Group.\nThanks to sponsors\, the Ferdinandee Greenhouses (dating back to the end of the 18th century) and the 19th-century Botany School will be restored and reinstated. The latter building will house the historical herbarium collections\, the historical library and a small botanical museum. The Bourbon greenhouses will be restored to their original structures\, with the elimination of posthumous structures and a return to the original design of the Petitot School. The new installations will ensure maximum energy savings. The spaces will not only house plants\, but will be multifunctional buildings that can also be used for exhibitions and events. Next to the Serre Ferdinandee\, new public services\, cafeteria\, meeting place\, bookshop will be opened.\nThe project is by Studio Canali Associati \nThe projects were presented on Monday 29 May in the historical headquarters in Via Farini in the presence of the Rettore\, Paolo Andrei\, of Mayor Michele Guerra\, the Scientific Director of the Botanical Garden Renato Bruni\,of the President of Fondazione Cariparma Franco Magnani\, of the President of “Parma\, io ci sto!”  Alessandro Chiesi and Giovanna Usvardi\, Global Communication & External Relations Head del Gruppo Chiesi\, and of course the designers Guido Canali and Paola Cavallini\, representing Studio Canali Associati and A+C_Architettura e Città Studio Associato \nWhere: Botanical Garden greenhouses\, Strada Farini\, 90\nWhen: from Tuesday 30 May to the end of July

SUMMARY:CSAC: open until 16 April the exhibition "Goliardo Padova. La forma del tormento".
DESCRIPTION:It will be open until 16 April for the exhibition ‘Goliardo Padova. La forma del tormento”\, curated by Giulia Castagnetti and Giulia Ferrari\, with which the CSAC once again reflects on the figure of an artist whose collection\, preserved in the archive itself\, counts almost four hundred works including canvases and drawings\, posters and engravings donated by his heirs. \nWith this exhibition\, the CSAC opens a series of exhibitions in the Sala delle Colonne\, characterised by common elements despite the diversity of themes\, topics\, authors and genres to which each is dedicated. All exhibitions generated by archival surveys conducted by staff working in the Centre combine the functions of archival preservation and management with those of heritage enhancement and knowledge dissemination. Mostre originali\, per i temi selezionati\, oppure per il taglio critico dato\, o per i materiali inediti scelti\, e mostre characterised by low environmental and financial impact designThe layout design\, graphics and actual realisation are also entirely conducted by the in-house technical staff\, with particular attention to the reuse of materials\, furniture\, supports and structures. \nThus\, an idea of cultural production that values design and implementation skills\, continuity between intellectual elaboration and operational and managerial implementation\, characteristics that have always been the heritage of the CSAC and the University. \nAs far back as 1985\, Arturo Carlo Quintavalle published an article entitled Goliardo Padova and European Expressionism\, outlining what is now intended to be the key that has guided the selection of a nucleus of works within the artist’s variegated corpus preserved at the CSAC. \nGoliardo Padova (Casalmaggiore\, CR\, 1909 – Parma 1979)\, after an education at the Art Institute in Parma and the Brera Academy of Fine Arts\, became involved in the most up-to-date Milanese cultural circles and became assistant professor to Guido Marussing at the Scuola Superiore per gli Artefici.\nHe experimented with and mastered a variety of artistic languages\, including decorative and architectural composition and advertising graphics. His field of choice\, however\, is easel painting\, in which the depiction of his homeland finds greater space. \nAfter an initial experience in close contact with the Novecento Group and the Milanese Chiaristi\, he arrived at a highly personal interpretation of reality. \nGoliardo Padova’s canvases have often been approached by critics\, due to an affinity of subjects treated\, to the group of so-called ‘last naturalists’ from the Po Valley\, as defined by Francesco Arcangeli in the pages of Paragone in 1954. \nAlthough there is no lack of references in Padua’s works to such close artists as Mattia Moreni\, Ennio Morlotti and others\, with La forma del tormento we wish to emphasise the great fascination that expressionist art has played in his career \nExpressionism\, in fact\, read and learnt in its various facets\, is for him a suitable means of giving voice to his own\, burning inner conflict. \nA first selection of works testifies to the early attention Padua paid to these languages as early as the 1930s and 1940s: the choice\, first and foremost\, of techniques such as woodcuts\, the hard\, decisive strokes in the figures that animate his prints\, bring to mind the direct taste for a form of primitivism so beloved of the German masters. \nIn 1943 came the great rupture that indelibly marked Padua\, as an artist but above all as a man: he was deported to Germany to a concentration camp from which he managed to escape four years later. \nA painful silence followed\, lasting almost a decade\, but it was in the subsequent return to painting\, mainly through the use of expressionist language\, that Padua was able to give voice to his torment. \nThe exhibition presents\, through five sections\, the fascination and admiration that Padua had for the great masters throughout his careerfrom Munch and Heckel to Kirchner via the Post-Impressionists and on to the European and American Informal\, resulting in an innovative and entirely personal reworking of contemporary language. \nGoliardo Padova.
