On Friday 10 November, at 11:00, in the "Corrado Giaquinto" Metropolitan Art Gallery in Bari, the exhibition "1875 2005 2023 Il rest Raffaele Belliazzi Giuseppe Caccavale", promoted by the Metropolitan City of Bari and curated by Chiara, will be presented to the press Bertola. The exhibition tells of the encounter between the artist Giuseppe Caccavale (Afragola, 1960) and the realist work «Il massimo» by Raffaele Belliazzi (1835 – 1917), preserved in the Pinacoteca Metropolitana Corrado Giaquinto in Bari, from which a research lasting several years.

The exhibition brings together, for the first time in its entirety, all the works, drawings, pastel and fresco paintings, videos that Giuseppe Caccavale created around Belliazzi's sculpture in different stages (at the Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice in 2006, in the Marilena Bonomo gallery in Bari and at the Faggionato Fine Art gallery in London in 2008, in the Claudia Gian Ferrari gallery in Milan in 2009) to which is added a poem by Osip Mandelstam, taken from the Octaves and written in 1933.


The three dates of the title refer to the year of creation of the work (1875), to the year of the first study carried out by the artist on the sculpture (2005) and finally to the year of the current exhibition. The exhibition itinerary is concentrated in the room where, among others, the Greek-Byzantine frescoes and the panels by Alvise Vivarini are placed and where Belliazzi's terracotta sculpture will be temporarily positioned to support the dialogue with the contemporary intervention.

“1875 2005 2023 Rest Raffaele Belliazzi Giuseppe Caccavale” proposes a new methodological approach to the theme of the relationship between past and present in places, such as the Art Gallery, rich in history.

The press conference will be attended by the artist Giuseppe Caccavale, the metropolitan councilor delegated for cultural heritage, Francesca Pietroforte, the director of the Cultural Heritage and Ico Service, Francesco Lombardo, the curator of the exhibition Chiara Bertola with Marilena Di Tursi, author of the text Conversario and Micaela Paparella, municipal councilor of Bari, delegated to policies for the valorisation of the historical-artistic and architectural heritage and cultural containers.
