For the project “Galleria Cavour 1959 for Bologna”, Galleria Cavour 1959 hosts a special talk on fashion, sustainability and art with:
Silvia Gambi, journalist
Ester Grossi, artist
Antonio Menon, founder and president of The Bank Foundation

Moderator:

APRIL 18th 2024 • H 6.30 P.M.
GALLERIA CAVOUR 1959 • TRIVIO

The project “The Geography of Transformation” was created by fashion designer Cristina Battistella during the last edition of the Advanced Training Course in Sustainable Fashion Supply Chain Management at the University of Prato, of which Silvia Gambi is director.

Fashion, sustainability, and art not only represent themes addressed repeatedly by Marta Martina, but also reflect three of the core values of Galleria Cavour 1959, which was the first commercial gallery internationally to acquire the important “carbon neutral” environmental certification.

The project connected sustainable fashion with art by creating a collection of clothes, designed and produced by Cristina Battistella, which were then interpreted and enhanced by nine artists and artists including Ester Grossi, an artist in residence at Palazzo Boncompagni for many years already.

From Thursday to Sunday, the garments will be on display in an “under glass” exhibition in the Terrazza Green exhibition hall of Galleria Cavour 1959.

The talk is free admission subject to availability with reservations required. Please fill out the form below.

Con profondo dolore, ci uniamo al lutto della famiglia e di tutti i suoi collaboratori per la scomparsa di Giorgio Armani, maestro assoluto dello stile e dell’eleganza italiana, che ha trasformato la moda in arte universale.

La sua visione ha cambiato per sempre il mondo della moda, lasciando un’eredità che continuerà a ispirare generazioni.

“Per me Giorgio Armani è stato un punto di riferimento unico: un uomo di straordinaria misura, capace di dare voce all’Italia più elegante e autentica. Il suo stile e la sua arte sono destinati a vivere oltre il tempo.”
Paola Pizzighini Benelli, CEO di Galleria Cavour 1959

Con gratitudine e rispetto, custodiamo la sua memoria.

With deep sorrow, we join his family and all his collaborators in mourning the passing of Giorgio Armani, the absolute master of Italian style and elegance, who transformed fashion into a universal art form.

His vision changed the world of fashion forever, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire generations.

"For me, Giorgio Armani was a unique role model: a man of extraordinary proportions, capable of giving voice to the most elegant and authentic Italy. His style and his art are destined to live on beyond time."
Paola Pizzighini Benelli, CEO of Galleria Cavour 1959

With gratitude and respect, we cherish his memory.
