Exhibition of ceramics by Paolo Vannucchi

This summer has been a full season as far as exhibitions have been concerned... Barga has seen many. Some good, some not and some that somehow got away. The tiny gallery under Capretz has already been the venue of a wonderful exhibition of paintings by Giorgione which very few people managed to see before he left to go back over the mountain to Moderna. This week another great exhibition in the tiny space and once again very few visitors. Its a shame as the ceramics of Paolo Vannucchi from Lucca are well worth spending some time to get to know. Ceramics are so often perceived as just a decorative medium but not the work of Vannucchi; they are fine art objects in their own right, beautifully made and very evocative.
