L’incanto dei Macchiaioli

Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan Italy
2015

After 40 years from its closure, the ‘‘Casa Museo’’ of Giacomo & Ida Jucker is shown to the public at the Museo Poldi Pezzoli.

The exhibition design concept focuses on the idea of a ‘‘casa’’ (the Juckers’ home) within a ‘‘casa’’ (the Poldi Pezzoli home). This home is represented as an abstract black box, collocating itself inside the Salone as a precious host.

The visitor is invited to move the curtain and enter inside the box, performing the same movement as the young lady in Silvestro Lega’s painting ‘‘ La curiosità ’’ while she’s sneaking outside of her window.

The artworks belonging to Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli are read in parallel with the Juckers’ collection of the Macchiaioli paintings. A beautiful and poetic meeting between the Milanese collectors.
