Gemito- The art of madness in Capodimonte

The show that will take place in the Capodimonte garden8 July 2021 it will be dedicated to the sculptor, designer and goldsmith Vincenzo Gemito who was born in Naples in 1852.

As the author of Moan - the art of or fool, Antimo Casertano, this work arises from the need to investigate the reason why the artist is neglected and forgotten by time and history, resulting in a secondary character.

Probably this professional crisis coincides with that human, and it is to be found in the maniacal will of Gemito himself to seek to reach the perfection. This sentenced him to imprisonment in mental hospital and subsequently, a face that has gone out, to the domestic cloister, which lasted more than 20 years.

I will be one interesting and suggestive show which we advise you not to miss.
