Marino Marini stars in a documentary on Rai 5

The great sculptor Marino Marini is the protagonist of a documentary that will air on Friday, May 14 at 9:15 p.m. on Rai 5 ’s Art Night, the program by Silvia De Felice and Massimo Favia and Marta Santella with Andrea Montemaggiori directing. However, the evening opens with the series Art Rider, which Rai 5 is reprising in anticipation of the new Art Night content, which will arrive in June. Art Rider is the program that takes the audience to discover the most hidden and mysterious places in Italy, with Andrea Angelucci, a young and dynamic archaeologist and travel designer.

This episode of Art Rider will take viewers to Campania to learn about ancient Campania Felix: from Pietravairano to Cancello, to dive into the waters of the Gulf of Naples, in search of the remains of the sunken city of Baia. This land, not far from Rome, the capital of the Empire, was already in ancient times rich in pleasures and beauties, the pride of its citizens. Ancient Campania Felix, was considered the pride of the Romans, their favorite place to leisure and enjoy the pleasures of life. The explorer’s journey, through encounters with other archaeologists, will lead him to discover treasures of ancient cities and medieval castles in the region.

Marino Marini will arrive in the second evening as part of the special series on Protagonists of the 20th century: artists, critics, gallery owners, and collectors who played a major role in Italian art of the last century. But “protagonists” also because, thanks to the precious archives of the Rai showcases, they are themselves storytellers, at work on their works, or in the galleries. The documentary, titled Marino Marini, thus proposes a journey through the work of this key figure in twentieth-century Italian art, famous for his horses and horsemen and the Pomone(read here for an in-depth look at the relationship between the artist and Etruscan sculpture): Marino Marini, in the film, tells his story in the first person, talking about his creations.
