Until July 25th  you can admire one hundred years of Russian art, from the empire to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and to the new Federation. Russie tries to show, for the first time in Italy, the whole 20th century through the artists’ eyes, their works and a more general visual culture that has been an impressive propaganda tool.

Not only painting or sculpture, or posters, or flags, but also clips and music, 15 multimedia installations, in some cases interactive.

The exhibition features a selection of important works from two main Italian collections of Russian art, the Morgante and the Sandretti Colletion, offering an overall look on Twentieth century Russian art: from the early century Russian and Soviet avant-garde figurative art to Social Realism of the 1930s to 1950s, and up to the Underground Art and some works from the 1990s by artists who tackled in a different but coherent way the three main themes of the show: the memory of the avant-garde, the mystification of Social Realism and the imagination of unofficial painting.
