In today's society the function of art is certainly very different from the one originally relied, it is first modified as needed and then had to give way to new media, becoming a minor aspect in the life the community. Recover art and give a new life is one of the tasks that the Superintendence for Cultural Heritage Historic, Artistic and Ethno-anthropological Heritage of Calabria has taken upon himself, focusing especially on the curiosity of young people, especially university students, and public awareness.
St. Augustine is the painting by Mattia Preti, perhaps during the Maltese, to open a new way of thinking about art even in Cosenza. The painting, owned by an antiques dealer in Rome, but even coming from Sao Paulo came to Cosenza, where he will undergo restoration work. In the case of this work, for which a comparison is not possible due to the lack of historical sources, opens the possibility of a stylistic comparison with similar work this the abbey of Montecassino. This suggests that the restoration of the painting will be very important and revealing to the experts, but even more so for fans of Mattia Preti and art in general. It happens in many cities, it also happens in this province that the search for a new space and a new identity for the art takes the road of 'building site'. The restoration work is certainly the most delicate moment in the life of a work of art and this time the curious and open to ordinary people at the root of the injury means clear that art is only by connoisseurs.
It is with extreme satisfaction that only a few days ago the superintendent Fabio De Chirico has presented the opportunity to visit the site so that visitors open, competent, or simply curious can 'understand the work from the inside, and diagnostic timing of restoration '.
All this takes place in a room which is accessed from the atrium of Palazzo Arnone, there's work, machinery and experts as the busy bees move in tune. The first time was that the diagnostic, testing started on the work were defined actions to be performed, including spectral investigations also seem to promise surprises, when this phase will go to restoration. The purpose of an operation as delicate as the 'Open Work' is not only enrich the gallery of a new canvas painted by the artist Catanzaro, as an opportunity to give a new dimension that can perhaps be reclassified places of culture such as museums in the eyes of people less sensitized to the cause of art.
A revival of the art venues in the collective imagination that should no longer be seen as white walls and nails that hold up the canvas, but can show up in all their real strength, through sheer hard work and I live to industry experts. Every moment of the restoration will be addressed by the staff inside of the Superintendent, who has a team of highly professional and too often, living out their work within the confines of laboratories is being underestimated or even ignored by the public. In this way, the Superintendent may be rightly regarded as the place of exploration of culture and art. Far assist in the restoration process is the only true way to give the citizens of Cosenza this work of art with each visitor, in fact, become a witness to an important and unique and at the same time will take up the work of art weaving in this who sees his own emotions. The critical issues that can meet during a restoration for this are many and the challenge that is embraced in an open to the public is particularly acute and sensitive. An unusual exhibition, designed for university students who study and dream of this kind of profession that not only will have the opportunity to observe professionals move around the live work of art, but can also apply for recognition of credits to 'University.
is tangible in everyday life the need to give art the right size, the one that always belong and with varying degrees of awareness has been overshadowed. No word yet if there will be other outstanding issues, it 'is now possible to envisage the number of people taking part in the initiative, yet the signal is loud and clear: the art has fallen from its pedestal and figured to provide real those who want to meet her, perhaps unique opportunity to grow and improve together.
