The exhibition "Ido Merlante: A Man, His Land," curated by Niccolò Lucarelli, will take place from October 17th, 2023, to January 7th, 2024. This extraordinary showcase celebrates the figure of Ido Merlante (1912-2002), an artist deeply rooted in the evocative territory of Polesine, a land embraced by the Great River that has inspired many other prominent artists, such as Cesare Zavattini and Giovanni Guareschi.
Ido Merlante dedicated his life to painting, immersing himself completely in the beauty and soul of this land. Over twenty years since his passing, this exhibition offers us the opportunity to explore the life and work of an artist deeply connected to his native land, painting it with genuine sentiment and without rhetoric.
Merlante's works are characterized by a pervasive silence, a silence pulsating with life. He captures the essence of daily life in Polesine, portraying its honest, sober, and hardworking people, who patiently face the cycles of nature and the toil of the fields. His brushstrokes convey a sense of gratitude for the warmth of human solidarity, for convivial moments around the family table, and for the changing colors of the seasons.
This exhibition is a tribute to Ido Merlante, the man and artist who left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of Polesine. Through an evocative and engaging journey, we will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in his unique vision of the world and appreciate his ability to convey emotions through the canvas.
Hotel Ruzzini is thrilled to be the stage for this extraordinary exhibition, taking guests and visitors on an exciting journey through the life and art of Ido Merlante. We are certain that this exhibition will further promote and appreciate the cultural and artistic richness of Polesine, creating an unbreakable bond between the artist, his land, and those who admire him.
