The yearly series begun in 2005 and now into its seventh year will resume again in April with the launch of the latest publications associated with the Giorgio Cini Foundation.
The first book in the new crop of publications will be presented on 12 April: La Visione, the eighth volume in the “Viridarium” series brings together around ten essays on visionary experiences of authors or found in works of different ages and cultures, from a Mediaeval Christian to an Eastern Sufi and the interior worlds of 20th-century intellectuals like Carl Gustav Jung and Mark Rothko. On 19 April the featured book is a Cini collection catalogue: Donato Creti. I disegni della raccolta Certani alla Fondazione Giorgio Cini edited by Marco Riccòmini. The launch will be accompanied by a temporary exhibition of some drawings from the Certani Collection, the subject of the book. Donato Creti (1671-1749) enjoyed a very long and industrious career as a painter, fresco artist and above all, draughtsman. The artist was praised for his extraordinary skill in drawing so much that his graphic works were collected throughout Europe.
Lastly, on 3 May the series ends by commemorating Giovanni Morelli with the presentation of the latest issue of the magazine AAM-TAC Art & Artifacts in Movie, Technology, Aesthetics and Communication, a publication devoted to music and film.
