Between two worlds”, And it is a retrospective dedicated to Bas Jan Ander aimed at deepening his unique creative personality through the themes that most characterized him and which are: melancholy, man / nature relationship and movement. The second temporary exhibition is instead "Face to Face ”by Mario Cerioli. The will of this event is the celebration of Cerioli's inexhaustible inventiveness.
