Sgarbi's project comes to Naples: "Museum of Madness. From Goya to Maradona."

From December 3, 2017 until May 28, 2018, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore alla Pietrasanta, Naples, will host the new edition of “Museo della Follia. From Goya to Maradona.” Curated by Vittorio Sgarbi, the event is a traveling exhibition that after Catania and Salò now lands in the Neapolitan capital. “Enter, but do not look for a path, the only way is to get lost,” said of this exhibition one of its creators, Sara Pallavicini, Sgarbi’s collaborator.

The exhibition will be a journey beginning with Francisco Goya, the 19th-century Spanish painter and engraver, and culminating with what is a true tribute to the city of Naples, its favorite team and that unforgettable soccer player who symbolized an era and two Scudetti, Maradona. Other art figures represented in the event include national artists such as Telemaco Signorini, Fausto Pirandello and Antonio Ligabue and international artists such as Francis Bacon and Adolfo Wildt. Among the authors who made this event possible are Sgarbi’s collaborators, Cesare Inzerillo, the aforementioned Sara Pallavicini, Giovanni C. Lettini and Stefano Morelli.

The exhibition will be open to the public daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., arriving at 9 p.m. on weekends, with last admission one hour before closing time. For all information you can call 3470162769, visit www.museodellafollia.it or email biglietteria@museodellafollia.it.
