Depero: Works from the Fedrizzi Collection
Venice, Museo Correr - Nov. 1, 2008 - March 1, 2009)

The Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia is opening the celebrations marking the centennial of futurism – that will have its climax in the great exhibition at the Correr in June 2009 – with an invaluable foretaste, dedicated to Fortunato Depero (1892-1960).

The exhibition was made possible thanks to the generosity of the Fedrizzi family, who not only agreed to the collection, belonging to Giuseppe Fedrizzi (1918-1979) and amassed over the years during his friendship with the artist and his wife Rosetta, but who have also agreed to leave it to the Venice Civic Museums, as a long-term loan to Ca’ Pesaro.
