Palazzo Roverella, exhibition Tina Modotti: The Fire of Passions.

After the latest public success with over 73,000 visitors for the Renoir exhibition, Palazzo Roverella is preparing to host the customary autumn appointment dedicated to the masters of the photographic art. This year it is Tina Modotti (1896/1942) the protagonist, from 22nd September to 28th January 2024, with the largest monographic exhibition in Italy on this legendary photographer, curated by Riccardo Costantini with the collaboration of Gianni Pignat and Piero Colussi.

More than 200 images together with films and documents will tell the story of her entire oeuvre, pivoting on the only exhibition she held directly in Mexico City, in 1929, where about sixty works were exhibited, more than 40 of which will be present at Palazzo Roverella. 
These works document how Modotti participated in the city's cultural vivacity, frequenting the writer John Dos Passos, the actress Dolores Del Rio and becoming friends with Frida Kalho and Diego Rivera whose murals she photographed.

Tina Modotti experimented with the use of the camera, ranging from architecture to still lifes and then recounting the life, work and everyday life of the working classes, peasants and labourers, to which she felt she belonged.
Tina Modotti's work was rediscovered at the Moma exhibition in New York in 1977 and since then her figure as an intellectual and non-conformist woman, as well as her photographic work, have been the subject of studies and in-depth studies, confirming her role as a great protagonist of the 20th century.

This is an unmissable opportunity not only to visit the exhibition at Palazzo Roverella, but also to spend a weekend discovering the historical-artistic heritage of Rovigo and the many villages not far away, where you can find villas-palaces, museums large and small, sacred places without forgetting nature and the flavours of land and water that the "Land between Adige and Po" knows how to offer with taste and spirit.
