The art and architectural gems of Italy’s Lombardy region. Lombardy is one of the least-known regions of Italy, and yet it holds a great many surprises for lovers of nature and art, boasting splendid villas and gardens along the banks of Lake Como and Lake Garda, medieval villages, countless monuments and buildings, and statues and paintings dotted all across the region, from the plains south of the city to the foothills of the Alps in the north.The many marvelous places that one will discover through the eyes of this well-loved art critic include the Romanesque basilica of San Pietro al Monte perched high on a mountainside; the fabulous marquetry designs by Lorenzo Lotto in Bergamo Cathedral; the prehistoric rock etchings in the Valcamonica; Mario Botta’s stunning Santa Maria degli Angeli chapel on Monte Tamaro; the eighteenth-century villa of Balbianello on Lake Como; and, not least, the Romanesque church of San Michele in Pavia.

Mythical Diary is a visual journey through the classical sculpture of Museo ArcheologicoNazionale di Napoli. It is a physical engagement with the marble bodies of myth.Through his black and white photography, Luigi Spina disassembles the limbs of the sculptures,emphasising their curves and hidden eroticism, humanising them to establish a dialogue withthe observer.A sculpture is the sign of eternal, unchanging beauty: the only real evidence of the many livesthat have passed and come to an end leaving a profound mark in the story of many otherexistences. For Spina, with his own vision of sculpture, a statue of Aphrodite is not merely astereotypical portrayal of myth. In it are gathered the anxieties, dreams, hopes and joys of allthose who have set eyes on her and dreamed or studied her. In a way, classical sculpture isprofoundly present in our veins, in our very breath.The project takes the form of an imaginary diary covering fifteen days. But this is only anephemeral period of time, a convention. The whole work developed over a period of daysand months amounting to years, always in contact with the circumscribed space made ofmyriad lives and stories, which we call a museum.In Mythical Diary, Spina attempts to make classical sculpture interact with the viewer's desireto be a part of this ancient world that has always influenced our way of life, our culture andour society, proving itself to be contemporary with any period.
