Curator

For over twenty years, I have been curating exhibitions of history and art.
Beyond the confines of books, where words meet images,
my commitment is to revive the testimonies of the past
so that visitors can see history with their own eyes.

Il Rinascimento parla ebraico
The Renaissance speaks Hebrew

The Mantua of Mantegna, Vittore Carpaccio and Venice, the Tuscany of Sassetta, the Rome of Raffaello, the Ferrara of Cosmè Tura and Ludovico Mazzolino. The itinerary of the exhibition is full of paintings and visual suggestions. The great Renaissance painters are fascinated by Hebrew and Judaism, and put their passion before our eyes. The MEIS wants to take you, however, beyond the images. We want to show you the personal relationships and the social dimension that made the creative miracle of the Renaissance possible. We are going to explore the cities. Synagogues, where people pray and study. The streets, where Jews live side by side with the rest of the population. Or where, as in the case of the Venice ghetto, in 1516, they began to be confined to a particular neighbourhood. We also want to talk about gender relations and the Jewish female world. We will meet Jewish women who copy manuscripts, or who actively participate in economic life. Women who are experts in medicine, officially licensed, or entrepreneurs, active and respected.
