Why it's special
A small, focused show of a twentieth-century experimenter in the rooms of the Fondazione Guglielminetti, inside Palazzo Alfieri, the birthplace of the poet Vittorio Alfieri. It's an easy add-on to a visit to the Alfieri museum in the same palace or to the Mucha exhibition a short walk along Corso Alfieri.

Annibale C. Bianchi (1920–2013) belonged to the generation of Italian painters who left figuration behind after the war for abstract and informal painting, working with texture, crumpled surfaces and earthy colour. This exhibition shows a selection of his works from the historical collections of the Fondazione Eugenio Guglielminetti, the Asti foundation named after the stage designer and painter.
It's in Palazzo Alfieri on Corso Alfieri, the palace where Vittorio Alfieri was born, which also houses the Museo Alfieriano. Down the same street, Palazzo Mazzetti has the Alphonse Mucha exhibition over the same winter. See what else is on in Asti.
