The beautiful Guercino exhibition in Cento can all be visited from home with an in-depth virtual tour

The major exhibition that returned the works of Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri; Cento, 1591 - Bologna, 1666) to his city, Cento, opens... online. The exhibition, entitled Baroque Emotion. Il Guercino a Cento ( a lengthy in-depth article here), which opened last Nov. 9 in the Pinacoteca San Lorenzo and Rocca di Cento (Ferrara), curated by Daniele Benati, exhibited 79 works (72 of them by Guercino) to the public and can now be comfortably visited from home .

With a very professional 3D tour, it is possible to visit both exhibition venues and move within the rooms, dwelling on the paintings (which can be seen in detail with good resolution images), on the explanations given on panels and captions, choosing one’s own path, delving into the figure of Guercino. To begin visiting the exhibition from your own device (horizontal orientation is recommended) simply log on to the Guercino a Cento website. The virtual tour was produced and designed by Alberto Maccaferri of Photo Activity, the images were taken by Gianfranco Visentini and Stefano Ghelfi (those of the works in private collections were instead provided by the owners). Texts are by Fausto Gozzi and Elena Melloni. Cristina Grimaldi Fava, Marco Vitali, and Anelita Tassinari contributed to the tour.
