Easter at Museo Bistolfi: first guided tour of the exhibition 'Here Italy is made. The image of the hero from Bistolfi to Baroni'

The Museo Civico e Gipsoteca Bistolfi in Casale Monferrato offers a cultural Easter with the first guided tour of the exhibition Here Italy is made. The image of the hero from Bistolfi to Baroni, scheduled for Sunday, April 5 at 4:00 PM. The program results from a partnership among the Municipality of Casale, the local Rotary Club and the De Ferrari Foundation, supported by regional foundations and local institutions.

The exhibition traces how the figure of the hero evolved from the early years of unified Italy to the post–World War I period, moving towards more classical and rhetorical expressions. Central to the display are works by Leonardo Bistolfi and Eugenio Baroni, presented alongside pieces by Gaetano Previati, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Plinio Nomellini, Libero Andreotti and Eliseo Sala.

• Works on display: sculptures, bas-reliefs, drawings and plaster models, including items from the "Martelli-Bistolfi 2021/2023" donation.
• Restorations and rare pieces: some works have been recently restored and are shown to the public for the first time.
• Loans and contributions: the exhibition is enriched by loans from museums, public institutions and private collectors.
• Scientific committee: the show was developed with the input of specialists who focused on the hero's role between the 19th and 20th centuries.

Ticket prices: full ticket €8; reduced €5 (seniors 60+, students 16–24, Coop and Touring members); compulsory school students and Museum Pass holders €4.
