May Day holiday, special openings at the National Gallery of Palazzo Spinola

It will be a rich week over the May 1 bridge at the National Gallery of Palazzo Spinola in Genoa. It starts right on Tuesday, May 1, with the extraordinary opening of the museum, from 1:30 to 7:30 pm. The public will thus be able to visit, in addition to the Palazzo’s invaluable collections, the three temporary exhibitions: Genova dargento, curated by Farida Simonetti and Franco Boggero, in the rooms on the third floor, home of the Galleria Nazionale della Liguria at Palazzo Spinola; Fiori, frutti e ortaggi: l’antico inganno della cartapesta, realizations by Alessandra Varbella, in the palace’s historic kitchen; Fantasia a tavola: quando il cibo diventa decororo, realizations by the students of the Ligustica Academy of Genoa, directed by Giulio Sommariva, in the rooms on the second piano nobile.

The appointments do not end there. Saturday, April 28, and Saturday, May 5, at 10:30 a.m., educational workshop for families entitled The Secrets of Papier Mâché: participants will learn this ancient technique with artist Alessandra Varbella (info and reservations at 010 2705300). On Wednesday, May 2, at 3:30 p.m., there will be a Floral Treasure Hunt: the public will be able to observe the decorations that embellish the rooms of Palazzo Spinola, and the little ones will be able to hunt for the floral details found inside the museum and reproduced on cards distributed to them by National Civil Service Volunteers. Also on Wednesday, May 2, at 5:30 p.m., there will be the second meeting of the En plein air cycle on the Mirador of Palazzo Spinola, which will focus on the theme of trompe-loeil in papier-mâché, curated by Alessandra Varbella.

Finally, on Sunday, May 6, there will be free opening for all, as there is every first Sunday of the month: the Gallery will be open from 1:30 to 7:30 pm. Instead, Euroflora visitors who show up at the Gallery with a Euroflora ticket all week until May 6 will be able to access the museum for the modest cost of just one euro.
