New life for art: restoration reveals stories, artists and beauty
Pinacoteca Graziano Campanini, Via Rizzoli 4-6
Organised by Comune di Pieve di Cento e Unione Reno Galliera
The restoration of three paintings held in the Pinacoteca Graziano Campanini is the occasion for a series of initiatives taking place in Pieve di Cento from 24 October to 29 November 2026. The works are the Creation of Adam, the Madonna and Child with Saints and the Saint Jerome Writing: the work carried out by the restorers has brought to light details and passages that were barely visible, on which the programme offers readings and insights. The programme alternates family readings in the library, the public presentation of the three restored canvases, a community dance workshop, a performance, guided tours and a meeting on Christian thought and anthropocentrism as read in the works. Each appointment looks at the paintings from a different point of view, including for those who are not experts in art history. The initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Pieve di Cento and the Unione Reno Galliera. Admission is free; for some activities booking is required, for others recommended.
