Treviso's Civic Museums tell their stories on social media with #pilloledimuseo


The Treviso Civic Museums are also telling their stories via web and social and will do so starting Monday, March 16, at 6 p.m., with the release of the first video for the social initiative #pilloledimuseo, which will allow visitors to enjoy through their smartphone or PC screen the temporarily closed art venues, refreshing enthusiasts with small and informal journeys through some of Treviso’s masterpieces told in a different way. Thus, the Treviso Civic Museums also intend to continue to provide the usual public service by offering moments of discovery through original readings of the precious works housed there, with videos on the Facebook and Youtube profiles of the Civic Museums and the Municipality of Treviso.

The first #pilloledimuseo, curated by Elisabetta Gerhardingher and Paola Bonifacio thanks to the support of the Friends of the Civic Museums of Treviso (filming by Giulio Grespan), will offer an in-depth itinerary linked to the exhibition Natura in Posa. Masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in dialogue with contemporary photography hosted in the St. Catherine’s complex.



The videos will initially consist of three mini-pills of about 5 minutes, with appointments every Monday at 6 p.m., which will tell anecdotes, details and stories about the themes and objects of three famous paintings in the St. Catherine Museum: Invisible Harmonies (St. Cecilia and Musician Angels, by Antiveduto Gramatica), Rebus (Portrait of a Dominican by Lorenzo Lotto) and Ah l’amore (Portrait of a Gentleman, by Ludovico Pozzoserrato).

Thus, it will be possible to discover what the coins on the table in Lorenzo Lotto’s Portrait of a Domin ican represent, or why we find two juicy peaches lying before Saint Cecilia in Antiveduto Gramatica’s particular painting. Moreover, by comparison with the large temporary exhibition Natura in Posa. Masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in dialogue with contemporary photography will give rise to little-known insights and stories, capable of fostering moments of joy intended to highlight the value also social and ethical of a shared cultural and artistic heritage.

“We had thought of this initiative as an exhibition within an exhibition,” says Treviso City Council Cultural Heritage and Tourism Councillor Lavinia Colonna Preti. “However, we have chosen, in anticipation of being able to propose it again, to bring it into the homes of all culture lovers to give them a break of art and beauty. Culture does not stop and indeed this dutiful moment of forced pause is the ideal time to seek some moments of comfort in the beauty of art together with one’s family members, a book, a movie or, why not?, a virtual museum tour.”

The “living” exhibition also continues on the Santa Caterina Treviso Civic Museums and Exhibitions Facebook page where insights, anecdotes and storytelling related to works from the permanent collections and the exhibition Natura in Posa. Masterpieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in Dialogue with Contemporary Photography.
