Verified profile

An emblematic institution of charity in Milan at the end of the nineteenth century, the Pio Albergo Trivulzio had been the object of attention by Angelo Morbelli as early as 1883. The theme of old age and loneliness had to be particularly congenial to a closed, reflective and melancholy temperament like that of Morbelli, fascinated by the silent and melancholy environments of the almshouses, by humble beings, aching among the memories of distant youth and the expectation of impending death. I remember when I was a young girl (Entremets) was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1903 along with five other paintings conceived as a single cycle entitled Poema della Vecchia Age. Entirely drawn up in the historic headquarters of Trivulzio, the canvas represents a moment of life within the community, the old guests all gathered at the table, are absorbed in their memories, in silent isolation. A subject that had already attracted the painter. The figures are inserted in a highly studied perspective context that expands the spaces of the female refectory with sun effects on the white walls soaked in the light that penetrates from the window at the bottom.
