Exhibitions in Barga by Fontirossi and Barsotti
The more the summer goes on, the more the phrase "Barga - city of art" starts to take on more significance. Two exhibitions opened this afternoon in Barga Vecchia. The first was from one of the top painters from Lucca, Roberto Fontirossi who has exhibited in the past here in Barga but only small works on paper... this time a full blown exhibition of his latest wry views on life. Not just a talented draughtsman but also a sure hand with colour can be seen in his exhibition at the Gallery Marzocco. Open until the end of August.
At the other end of the piazza in the Chiostro Palazzo Balduini there was also the opening for the exhibition of new paintings from Marcella Bertoli Barsotti who has made great progress in her work since her last exhibition a year ago in the same Chiostro. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for her and her work.

Can you tell me more about these posters which the Comune pumps out. What’s with this style of design and where does it come from (also like the 80th b'day one for Aristo).
Vertical letters down left and right sides with gradient fill behind and an image. When I think of some of the great Italian poster designers I wonder where all that went? No offense to anyone, I am just curious as a designer. Is it cost over look I suspect.
yeah they are something else aren't they ?
the aristo poster has quickly become a collectors item and all have been ripped off the notice boards ... funny really as it was one of the best coming out of that office...the image of Aristo was from O'Connor but was cropped (for some reason they didn't want the copyright barganews.com 2004 text on it) Oh well
ciao
