After Taormina, the multimedia exhibition devoted to Modigliani's women arrives in Palermo, the second stop of the Sicilian tour. From 3 November 2018 to 31 March 2019 the exhibition occupies Palazzo Bonocore, in piazza Pretoria, next to Palazzo delle Aquile and the church of Santa Caterina, in the year in which Palermo is Italian Capital of Culture. It is organised by Navigare, under the patronage of national, regional and city institutions and with curatorship by Amalart; media partners Sky Arte and Radio Monte Carlo.
Amalart curated the exhibition and rethought its layout for the frescoed rooms of the palazzo, keeping the framework of Taormina: Modigliani's works reproduced digitally in high definition and backlit, period photographs, documents and large projections on his life between Livorno and Paris, with QR codes for exploring works and documents in more depth from one's own phone. A section, "The wonders of the secret room", presents works by artists who were close to Modigliani, such as Maurice Utrillo. Amalart also handled communication and press relations.
On the evening of the opening the façade of the palazzo lights up with projections devoted to the artist, with a view to the centenary of his death in 2020, and inside a performance brings costumes and moving figures before the images of his life. The photographs of the opening evening are by Vincenzo Pennino.
