The exhibition Carlo Bononi. The Last Dreamer of the Ferrara Workshop, the first monographic exhibition dedicated to one of the most important Emilian painters active between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Carlo Bononi (Ferrara, 1569 - 1632), an original painter whose art offered suggestions to artists such as Guido Reni and Guercino and whose name has often been compared to that of Tintoretto and Caravaggio.
