SUMMARY:Andrea Pazienza 
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition celebrating the artist and guiding us into the heart of his creative process\, revealing how his style transformed comics into a new art form.\nOn the seventieth anniversary of the birth of Andrea Pazienza (1956–1988)\, the Museum is dedicating an exhibition project to the great author\, divided between Rome and L’Aquila. The exhibition in L’Aquila retraces the formative years in which Pazienza defined his own language\, a personal lexicon resulting from continuous experimentation. At the heart of the exhibition is the mark\, understood not as a simple line\, but as a nucleus that generates images\, visual rhythm and narrative tools. A flexible graphic grammar\, which the artist breaks down and recomposes\, transforming the stroke into a living organism capable of expressing emotions and moods. \nThe exhibition brings together over 300 works\, many of which have never been seen before: childhood drawings\, ink drawings\, watercolours and marker pen compositions. These works demonstrate his ability to combine precision and spontaneity\, control and impetus\, measure and improvisation. His output combines painting and comics\, tradition and the freshness of a contemporary and popular language. \nOrganised chronologically and thematically\, the exhibition traces the fundamental stages of the artist’s creative career\, revealing to the public not only his innovative energy but also his deep connection with Abruzzo\, the region where he took his first steps as an artist. A special section is dedicated to Convergenze\, the art gallery in Pescara that hosted Pazienza’s first solo exhibition in 1973\, a landmark for many artists of that artistic season. \nAndrea Pazienza\, Autoritratto come nobile olandese del Seicento\, 1975\, marker on colored paper\, private Collection

SUMMARY:Hill of Desires
DESCRIPTION:A meeting to explore the unconventional geographies of contemporary art\, living spaces for experimentation where art is a tool for producing knowledge\, activating communities and imagining the future.\nHill of Desires\, edited by Matteo Binci\, Pietro Consolandi\, Giacomo Pigliapoco and Bianca Schröder\, is a shared editorial project that approaches contemporary art as a practice situated in marginal territories and inland areas of Europe. It is an exercise in radical imagination that recognises rurality as a space for counter-narratives\, capable of generating political ecologies\, affective devices and non-institutional forms of knowledge. \nThe editorial project is divided into five sections: a visual atlas with reference works created in Italy from 1960 to the present day\, three specially designed artist’s dust jackets\, nine unpublished texts\, a collective bibliography and photographic documentation of the multi-year Traffic Festival project. \nintroduction\nFanny Borel MAXXI L’Aquila curator \nintervengono\nMarco Brandizzi Accademia di Belle Arti dell’Aquila director\nSilvia Di Gregorio ARCA (Arte Rigenerazioni Comunità Abitare) artistic director\nMarcelo Expósito artist\nMario Pieroni and Dora Stiefelmeier No Man’s Land Foundation founders \nmoderator\nMatteo Binci curator of the volume \nThe volume Hill of Desires\, published by Viaindustriae\, was produced with the support of the Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero della Cultura as part of the Italian Council programme (13th edition\, 2024)\, aimed at promoting Italian contemporary art internationally.

SUMMARY:L’armata Brancaleone
DESCRIPTION:A brilliant Italian comedy set in a miserable and hungry Middle Ages.\nThe ambitious knight Brancaleone da Norcia\, of noble origins\, finds himself leading a peculiar band of braggarts on a mission to conquer the fiefdom of Aurocastro\, in Puglia. Amidst plundered cities\, fortuitously won battles and maidens to be rescued\, the improvised army crosses the Italian peninsula\, experiencing all the clichés of the great stories of chivalric epic. With this 1966 film\, Mario Monicelli gives us one of the greatest successes of Italian cinema\, telling a unique story with biting irony\, in which farcical invention is mixed with cultured references. \nintroduction\nPiercesare Stagni Abruzzo Film Commission President \n\nThe title is part of the new edition of the SUGGESTIONI film festival\, dedicated to the exhibition Andrea Pazienza. La matematica del segno\, in collaboration with the L’Aquila Film Festival. The festival was organised with the support of ALES.

SUMMARY:Flash Gordon
DESCRIPTION:A cult science fiction film known for its kitsch style\, bright colours and soundtrack by Queen.\nThe evil Ming\, ruler of the planet Mongo\, decides to attack Earth\, devastating it through supposed “natural disasters”. Scientist Zarkov\, having foreseen everything long ago\, sets off in a rocket he built himself\, together with famous football player Flash Gordon and journalist Dale Arden\, who happened to be there by chance. It is the fortuitous presence of the heroic Flash Gordon that saves our planet\, defeating the tyrannical emperor played by Max Von Sydow. \nPerpetually balanced between the wonder of Méliès and the kitsch of the late modern era\, Flash Gordon (1980) remains one of the most iconic films of 1980s cinema thanks to its hyper-colourful aesthetics and exquisitely comic-book storytelling. \nintroduction\nFederico Spinosa Estetica dell’Università dell’Aquila professor \n\nThe title is part of the new edition of the SUGGESTIONI film festival\, dedicated to the exhibition Andrea Pazienza. La matematica del segno\, in collaboration with the L’Aquila Film Festival. The festival was organised with the support of ALES.

SUMMARY:The School of Narrative Dance
DESCRIPTION:A collective ritual that transforms the city into a widespread stage\, capable of restoring an active role to the collectivity in the construction of meaning\, identity and community.\nThe performance began as a travelling storytelling school\, based on emancipation\, inclusion and self-education. Its development was accompanied by extensive research in the local area\, placing the social fabric at the centre of the project. \nWith this work\, Marinella Senatore reflects on the concept of the work of art as a participatory form of expression\, capable of influencing the character of the local area and the social dynamics that shape it. \nIn collaboration with the Municipality of L’Aquila for L’Aquila Italian Capital of Culture 2026.

SUMMARY:Convergenze e continuità
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that goes beyond the borders of Palazzo Ardinghelli to tell a story of architecture\, cities and transformations.\nHoused in the newly restored spaces of Palazzo ONMI\, a former nursery school on Viale Duca degli Abruzzi and a testament to public building in the 30s\, the exhibition begins in that decade and develops a continuous narrative of the urban landscape of Abruzzo. \nThe itinerary takes visitors through the transformations of cities\, following the key stages in the growth and redefinition of urban space. Architecture\, emblematic episodes and dialogues with artistic production reflect the evolution of modern language in Abruzzo up to the 1960s\, offering an overview of the forms and ideas that have shaped the region. \nIn collaboration with the Municipality of L’Aquila – Restart Programme L’Aquila Italian Capital of Culture 2026.
