TEMPORARILY NOT EXPOSED

In 1974 Carla Marzi donated to the Civic Museums a vast collection of works by Renato Marino Mazzacurati, an author of great relevance who left an important mark in the history and culture of Reggio and its territory. After his debut in the 1920s in Rome alongside the protagonists of the Scuola di Via Cavour (Scipione, Raphael, Mafai), Mazzacurati began to frequent Gualtieri from 1928. A prolific and versatile author, he dedicated himself to sculpture and the recovery of traditional artistic techniques such as mosaic and ceramics from the 1940s onwards. After the Second World War, he became famous for his monuments celebrating the resistance and victory over Nazifascism.
