Giacomo Puccini - in the course of his dense and extraordinary musical career - composed 12 operas. To each of these, the artist Corrado Veneziano dedicates a work of 12 oil paintings that play between the elegant distribution of musical codes and a strong sense of figurativeness. Among the staves, notes and scores faithfully reproduced, we encounter - horizontally, giving air to the canvases - peach branches, the steps of a castle staircase, the waves of the sea, the scratches on the walls of an attic... And so Butterfly, , Manon, La Bohème... Just as Veneziano had already done with his work on Codice Atlantico di Leonardo da Vinci (presented in Amboise under the patronage of the Louvre Museum) and with the Divina Commedia (with a painting that became the Italian State's postage stamp dedicated to the Inferno) the 'signs' - first scientific, then alphabetic, now musical desematise: they commit them selves to linking plots-contents-philology to the freest artistic reinterpretation. For the occasion, Veneziano will illustrate his works. And, to make the guided tour more enjoyable, and to pay homage to the Maestro (the centenary of his life falls in 2024), we will offer a cup of zuppa lucchese and a glass of Tuscan wine (since Puccini also loved good food and good wine: linking knowledge and flavours, as we know...).
