Here below is a part of the original article:<\/p>\n<p><em>The paintings, sculptures and other playful objects raised in the fantastic nursery of Mr. Nespolo\u2019s imagination bring to mind that whole new race of Futurist toys proposed in the \u201cFuturist Reconstruction of the Universe\u201d which, it was envisaged, would not only delight children but also be \u201cvery useful to adults, too, keeping them young, agile, joyful, self-assured, ready for anything, indefatigable, instinctive and intuitive.\u201d<br \/>\nThe authors of this manifesto, published in 1915, were Giacomo Balla and Fortunato Depero, whose works Mr. Nespolo has collected for many years. He is also the owner of around 4,000 manuscripts relating to Depero\u2019s life and works, and the exotic waistcoat, designed by Depero, which Filippo Tomasso Marinetti, the founder of Futurism, can be seen sporting in a famous photograph taken in Turin in 1922.<br \/>\nThe Futurists hated museums, or at least affected to \u2014 Marinetti likened them to cemeteries in the first 1909 Futurist Manifesto \u2014 but Mr. Nespolo is an avid enthusiast for them. One favorite, he says, is the Bargello in Florence, which contains some of Italy\u2019s greatest sculptures \u2014 from Donatello\u2019s \u201cDavid\u201d and \u201cSt. George\u201d to Michelangelo\u2019s \u201cBacchus\u201d and Giambologna\u2019s \u201cMercury\u201d \u2014 alongside an outstanding collection of ceramics, glass, metalwork, ivories, enamels and other applied arts.<br \/>\nMr. Nespolo was invited by the Bargello to stage a retrospective of his work in its temporary exhibition space, the first time it has ever hosted a contemporary artist. Mr. Nespolo\u2019s \u201cNovantiqua\u201d- the name is a word play on new and old \u2014 is curated by Beatrice Paolozzi Strozzi, the museum\u2019s director; it runs until Jan. 10.<br \/>\nThe show consists of 40 paintings and sculptures in ceramic, glass, bronze and other media, spanning Mr. Nespolo\u2019s career. It includes three pieces, \u201cNovantiqua 1-3,\u201d inspired by the Bargello itself and made especially for this exhibition.<br \/>\nMuseums have long been a theme for Mr. Nespolo, as demonstrated by three earlier works among the paintings here.<br \/>\n\u201cAndy Dandy,\u201d from 1973, features a bizarre display of three identical flower paintings being observed by a man accompanied by a bulldog on a leash; \u201cFerrarese Suggestions\u201d from 1982, offers a view of an imaginary gallery containing paintings by the Metaphysical artist Giorgio de Chirico; and \u201cThe Beautiful Gestures,\u201d from 1999, presents a vista of a museum, or other exhibition, of modern art.<br \/>\nThe images are constructed from jigsaw-like patterns of wooden pieces, painted in glossy, primary acrylic colors, suggesting a vision of childlike wonder and simplicity. In the three \u201cNovantiqua\u201d pieces, which employ the same technique, Mr. Nespolo has depicted internal views of the Bargello, reinforcing the chromatic richness with gilded sections, reminiscent of the golden backdrops of precious Byzantine mosaics and medieval Italian paintings. Among the exhibits, museum visitors \u2014 gazing at the displays, reading guide-books, taking photographs and sketching \u2014 themselves constitute unwitting living statues amid the antique marbles and bronzes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read the full article from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/11\/28\/arts\/28iht-rcartnes.html?_r=1&amp;sq=ugo%20nespolo&amp;st=cse&amp;scp=1&amp;pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valcucine\u2019s collaboration with the Italian artist Ugo Nespolo, whose career dates back to the Sixties to the era of Italian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[1296,118,244,1402],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ugo Nespolo&#039;s world through traditional and modern art | Valcucine Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Have you ever considered Italian kitchen design for your home?
