CARMI, the Carrara and Michelangelo Museum, opens in Carrara, dedicated to the relationship between the artist and the city

On June 2, at 6 p.m., a museum space dedicated to the relationship between Michelangelo Buonarroti and the city of marble will open in Carrara and will be called CARMI - Museo Carrara e Michelangelo.
The museum will be set up in the restored rooms of Villa Fabbricotti, located in the Padula Park, and has been prepared and created by theMetaMorfosi Association, with the scientific collaboration of Casa Buonarroti, and the curatorship of Professor Emanuela Ferretti of theUniversity of Florence. He was later joined as co-curator by Professor Davide Turrini of theUniversity of Ferrara. Architect Giuliano Macchia, MetaMorfosi’s curator of installations, oversaw the part related to the design of the museographic layout.

There will be six thematic areas, in an itinerary showing 1:1 scale reproductions of Moses, holograms such as that of David, videos, photographs, prints and historical documents. Also on display will be some videos on the Pieta. A space will be devoted to the contemporary with reproductions of works by artists such as Rothko, Le Corbusier, Arata Isozaki and Robert Venturi. The villa will also host a section, on the ground floor, dedicated to its history and two rooms dedicated to 2017 film productions about the relationship between Michelangelo and Carrara: Andrei Konchalovsky ’s “Sin”( our news story here) and the Sky production “Michelangelo - Infinity” (we talked about it here).

The Province of Massa Carrara, theAcademy of Fine Arts of Carrara and theState Archives of Massa have contributed with several testimonies and important loans. Finally, in September the catalog of the fledgling museum will be published.
