From 13 March to 16 June, the gallery presents a group exhibition dedicated to the artists who were part of the Gruppo degli Otto (Group of Eight). With a selection of about 20 works, the exhibition brings together the eight Italian artists who, gathered around the art critic Lionello Venturi, participated from 1952 to 1954 in the brief yet intense experience of the Gruppo degli Otto.

With canvases by Afro Basaldella, Renato Birolli, Antonio Corpora, Mattia Moreni, Ennio Morlotti, Giuseppe Santomaso, Giulio Turcato and Emilio Vedova, the show highlights the experimental and profoundly innovative approach of these artists, who, without agreeing on a common language, preferred a subjective and personal abstract painting, free to go beyond the very limits imposed by abstraction.

Considered to be among the greatest Italian painters of the post-war period, the exhibition focuses on the personal specificities and expressive declinations that each artist was able to develop autonomously during and after the dissolution of the group. In the exhibition, vibrant and heterogeneous artworks in terms of subject matter, chromatic temperament and sign gesture, suspended between the abstract and the concrete and in constant relationship with nature and the multiplicity of life.
