Anselmo Bucci at MART Rovereto: a major retrospective on 20th-century art

The MART in Rovereto hosts the largest exhibition dedicated to Anselmo Bucci, a significant but often overlooked figure in 20th-century Italian art. The retrospective explores the variety of techniques and languages Bucci employed and frames his work within the broader European context, from Milan to Paris.

• Dates: opening on Saturday 28 March 2026 — closing on Sunday 27 September 2026.
• Works on display: over 150 items including paintings, prints, drawings and photographs—many shown for the first time.
• Themes and context: the shift from 19th-century figurative tradition to early 20th-century avant-gardes; urban modernity and the influence of the First World War.
• Loans: significant contributions from public and private collections across Italy.

The exhibition reconstructs Bucci’s multifaceted profile—painter, printmaker and draftsman—highlighting his intellectual independence from official groups and his stylistic coherence across different media. Visitors can follow the evolution of his approach and the recurring motifs shaped by contemporary experience.

Practical notes: the retrospective runs through spring and summer; allow at least 90 minutes to visit the full display. Check the museum’s official channels for current opening hours and any booking requirements before planning your visit.

Why go: a rare opportunity to see unpublished works and to reassess Bucci’s contribution to Italian and European modern art.
