From March 5 to April 12, with the exhibition Growingsroots, Royal Palace is celebrating 15 years of the Premio Furla, an important biennial award for contemporary art dedicated to young Italian artists.
The exhibition, curated by Chiara Bertola, Giacinto Di Pietrantonio and Yuko Hasegawa, is a retrospective that wants to make the points on Italian art from 2000 to date and presents all the past winners: Sisley Xhafa, Lara Favaretto, Sissi, Massimo Grimaldi, Pietro Roccasalva, Luca Trevisani, Alberto Tadiello, Matthew Ribbi, Chiara I smoked and the duo won the award Furla 2015 Maria Iorio and Raphael Cuomo.
A specific path in the rooms of the Princes of the Royal Palace where the works of the winning artists Furla talk to each other allowing visitors to make an initial assessment on the state of recently contemporary Italian.
“When the Premio Furla was born in 2000, it was a time when the art prizes and opportunities for young artists were virtually non-existent and our project was a pioneering and visionary one,” said Giovanna Furlanetto, President of Fondazione Furla and Furla SpA, “15 years later we can say that the work carried out with passion and consistency has paid off. Growingroots is therefore a tribute to the history of the award and all those who have been involved, and at the same time marks a new phase and important collaboration with the City of Milan and PalazzoReale, in the year of the Expo, is a particularly significant step in this path of growth to enhance skills, ideas and visions of the young artists, who are the real root of our future.”
