From December 8, 2022 to March 19, 2023, the Mart in Rovereto presents a major exhibition on Giotto's legacy in early 20th century artists. On display are more than two hundred works.

The Mart-Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto proposes from December 8, 2022 to March 19, 2023 the major exhibition Giotto and the Twentieth Century, curated by Alessandra Tiddia, from an idea by Vittorio Sgarbi.

In the early twentieth century Carlo Carrà, Mario Sironi and Arturo Martini, but also Gino Severini, Massimo Campigli, Achille Funi, and Ubaldo Oppi trace in Giotto the main witness of an artistic tradition to look to. Later,Giotto’s legacy influenced the work of some of the protagonists of Italian art such as Giorgio Morandi, Fausto Melotti, Mario Radice, Lucio Fontana, but also the work of great international artists such as Henri Matisse, Yves Klein, Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, Tacita Dean and James Turrell.

Through more than two hundred works, the exhibition project aims to let visitors discover how modern and contemporary artists have been inspired by the genius of Giotto, the master who revolutionized medieval painting, in the conception and realization of their works.
