EXHIBIT Museum Guards, Photographs by Davide Pizzigoni

extended until Sunday, February 26, 2012

The exhibit Museum Guards. Photographs by Davide Pizzigoni at the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum has been extended until the 26th of February, so until then it will still be possible to admire the photographs selected from the work dedicated to museum guards by the artist Davide Pizzigoni.

The sumptuous domestic ambiance of the Bagatti Valsecchi mansion, which also figures in some of the photographs, provides an evocative background for the images of museums as they are lived during the extended habit of the everyday. This "house of mirrors" rapport between the museum's spaces and the photographs displayed therein, this surprising and evocative dialogue between the real and the photographed spaces, is underscored by the presence of some life-sized images.

The displayed images are the fruit of a photographic campaign begun by the artist in 2008, and undertaken in numerous museums in France, England, Russia, Brazil and Italy. This highly original research looks at the mysterious and always fascinating dialogue between places, things and people. The catalogue of the exhibit, published by Allemandi, is enriched by a preface by Pierre Rosenberg and by a text by Marco Vallora.

Piccolo Sogno Restaurant, Chicago

Written by Maria Battaglia Monday, 31 October 2011 11:53

"If you have passion – why not dream,” says Executive Chef Tony Priolo of Piccolo Sogno Restaurant. My dream while growing up was to be either a professional baseball player or a professional chef.

“I always wanted my own place. My partner Ciro Longobardo and I met fourteen years ago at Coco Pazzo Café. Our chemistry, work ethics, and ideas are the same…perfect. I wouldn’t have done it without Ciro.” That was 2 ½ years ago. After working at Coco Pazzo for 11 years, his dream started to take shape.
