Absolute value

The Accademia is a magical place, just as magical is the atmosphere that pervades the neighborhood of Milan that hosts it. Brera has become a lifestyle and a cultural reference point. In this context, unique in the world, the Accademia and the Pinacoteca are distinct and complementary cultural entities capable of symbolic declinations, full of history, but also cosmopolitan and international, contemporary and design.

We look at the Accademia di Brera as an institution rich in different components: cultural, educational, artistic, economic and social. It is these dimensions that express a value that crosses different contexts and that we can also measure. In fact, from a strictly economic point of view, the Accademia generates an impact that concerns all the activities and services that its community (students, teachers, guests, etc.) puts into play, also by attracting investments from which a return is estimated and expected.

Brera brings value to the competitiveness of the city and the Country, even symbolically, as the gravitational center of a system of education and creative industry in a Milan that is confirmed as one of the European capitals of studies and is an international leader in production. and cultural education.

The Accademia di Brera is in fact the center of gravity of a complex system of high artistic training and the weight of its brand creates the basis for a strong and distinctive identity, capable of exercising a powerful attractiveness towards students and teachers, but also towards companies and national and international institutions.

Presentation of the guide by Raoul Melotto

The debate on art does not stop and continues to solicit meetings even in lockdown, so the Accademia di Brera, where the remote teaching activity has now started at full speed, now uses its virtual classrooms to propose comparisons and multi-voiced discussions. On Wednesday 13th of May at 11.00 the Two years courses of Decoration will host the writer Raoul Melotto will present to the students his book dedicated to Artemisia Gentileschi, a guide of the places where to see the artist's works in real life, but also a critical and emotional itinerary among the chiaroscuro of the Seventeenth century, a century that reveals unexpected affinities with the contemporary age. After having dealt with the figures of Caravaggio and Bernini in his previous books, Melotto offers a carefully documented focus on the well-known private events that marked the life of the painter, weaving a dense web of correlations with the fundamental themes of the culture of her time.

The personality and career of Artemisia, an established painter and independent woman, will therefore be the starting point for a reflection on the role of painting, on the relationship with the client and with architectural spaces, but will also offer the opportunity to think about the importance of a updated reinterpretation of the great themes of the art of the past. Introduced by professors Maria Cristiana Fioretti, director of the School of Decoration, and Sergio Nannicola, coordinator of the Two years courses. The artist Marco Pellizzola and Valeria Tassinari, art historian and professor of History of Decoration in Brera, will talk with the author. All participants will be invited to interact with the speakers through the online platform.
