MO.C.A. - MONTECATINI CONTEMPORARY ART

The exposition halls have recently been arranged in the Palazzo Comunale, an edifice of eclectic style, built in 1913. In the interior, the gallery is located in the spaces of the former Art Nouveau post office, as we are reminded by the message on the glass doors by Galileo Chini.

Here are displayed among other works, Vita [Life], a painting of huge size by Pietro Annigoni from 1957–1960, and Donna avvolta in un volo di uccelli [Woman caught in a flight of birds], a work by Joan Miró from 1980.
This large canvas was donated by the Surrealist Catalan artist to Montecatini on occasion of an exposition arranged by a former Cuban Minister of Culture, Carlos Franqui, a political exile residing in Montecatini.
