{"product_id":"salvatore-fiume-odissea","title":"Salvatore Fiume - Odyssey","description":"Salvatore Fiume (Comiso, October 23, 1915 – Milan, June 13, 1997). At a young age, he attended the Royal Institute of Book Art in Urbino, where he learned printing techniques. In 1949, Fiume held his first official exhibition in Milan, with the works \"Islands of Statues\" and \"Cities of Statues,\" arousing considerable interest among critics. This exhibition allowed Fiume to establish contacts with international artistic and cultural institutions. On that occasion, a work was purchased for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and for the Jucker collection in Milan. The following year, he was invited to the Venice Biennale: he exhibited the triptych \"Islands of Statues,\" which earned him a cover story in the American magazine Life. His work reveals an interest in Renaissance painting, particularly that of Piero della Francesca and Paolo Uccello. In 1953, he was commissioned to create works by Life and Time magazines. In 1962, one hundred paintings toured various museums in Germany. In 1973, he traveled to the Babile Valley in Ethiopia, where he painted a group of rocks with anti-corrosion marine paints. At the major retrospective exhibition in 1974 at the Palazzo Reale in Milan, he presented the African Mona Lisa for the first time, now housed in the Vatican Museums. Several exhibitions followed: in 1985 at Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, in 1987 at the Sporting d'Hiver in Monte Carlo, and in 1991 at the International Architecture Exhibition in Milan. He made his debut as a sculptor in 1994 with an exhibition in Milan. His explorations of sculpture actually dated back to the 1940s. His production includes works in stone, bronze, resin, wood, and ceramic, some of which are large. These include the bronze statue at the European Parliament in Strasbourg and the stone groups at the San Raffaele hospitals in Milan and Rome. He died in Milan on June 3, 1997. His works are held in the most important museums around the world.\r \n\n","brand":"Borgatti Silvano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56210559598978,"sku":"SBOR001","price":7100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_1432.jpg?v=1768391168","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/salvatore-fiume-odissea","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
