With the exhibition “IO TU IO. Renato Vernizzi and Luca Vernizzi: a century of portraits” Monteparma Foundation continues its activity of rediscovery and enhancement of the local artistic heritage by presenting, in a sort of intergenerational dialogue that spans the twentieth century to the present day, the portraits of the illustrious painter of Parmesan origins Renato Vernizzi next to those of his son Luca, an artist who has been able to grow in the family tradition while maintaining a strong expressive originality.

The protagonists of this exhibition, curated by Angelo Crespi and Carla Dini, are, together with the two painters, also the many characters who populate their intense works. In addition to the members of the family, there are, in fact, many well-known faces of the cultural and artistic world, some of them strongly linked to Parma, which make this proposal particularly captivating: Arturo Toscanini, Giorgio Torelli, Baldassarre Molossi, Giulietta Masina, Mariuccia Mandelli (Krizia), Giovanni Testori, Giuseppe Sgarbi, Umberto Veronesi, Paolo Crepet and Mario Andreose are just some of the famous names on display.

The exhibition, consisting of a hundred works, from the art collection of the Monteparma Foundation and private collectors, allows you to reconstruct the highlights of the artistic production of Renato Vernizzi and Luca Vernizzi, presenting the works of the two painters along autonomous paths but also in an interesting section dedicated to comparisons, the discovery of assonances and differences that characterize their research.
