From 10 April, a diffuse exhibition narrates the figure of the artist Giovan Battista Trotti, known as Malosso. The widespread exhibition becomes an opportunity to discover the eclecticism and talent of this character, who left a mark of his work in Piacenza, Cremona and Parma.
Cavalier Malosso. A Cremonese artist at the court of the Farnese family
When: from 10 April to 13 July
Where: Ducal Chapel of Palazzo Farnese and other places
In Palazzo Farnese, in addition to the works in the Art Gallery, the so-called Salazar Triptych will be reassembled. It’s a work commissioned by Don Diego Salazar, a leading figure of the time, originally composed of three canvases: the central altarpiece, with the Adoration of the Shepherds (1595) now part of the Banca di Piacenza collection, and the two side panels with Saints Sebastian and Diego d’Alcalà, recently re-emerged on the antiques market.
In the city, it will also be possible to admire the works in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at the Church of San Francesco and other works by Malosso at San Giovanni in Canale and Sant’Agostino, now home to a private gallery.
Outside the city, the artist’s works can be admired in Monticelli d’Ongina at San Lorenzo, where there are depictions of St. Lucy, St. Cecilia and St. Catherine of Alexandria, St. Jerome and the Transit of St. Joseph.
The exhibition crosses provincial borders with an exhibition dedicated to the Malosso workshop in Cremona and with exceptional openings of the Ducal Palace (Carabinieri headquarters) in Parma.
Details will be soon available.
