Alberta Gnugnoli will give a lecture entitled An Englishman in the Garden of Europe: J.M.W.Turner and Italy. She will be introduced by Maurizio Ascari of Bologna University.

An insatiably curious traveller, learned, passionate and persevering, the romantic artist Turner (1775-1851) was interested in everything: landscapes, ruins, legends.

Italy became an ideal to which he remained faithful throughout his life. Its history and myth inspired enchanting works of warm luminosity and, in his late maturity, radically innovative work like his Venetian views, lyrical symphonies of light and colour.

Alberta Gnugnoli, journalist, art critic and contributor to the Anglo-American section of the magazine Art e Dossier, writes and lectures on subjects concerning art and photography.
