Changing table at Villa Bertelli

The Villa Bertelli Foundation was founded in 2011 and pursues exclusively public utility purposes, aiming to bring benefits to third parties, directly and/or indirectly, and is non-profit.

Villa Bertelli is a unique exhibition space in the Versilia panorama, the exhibition spaces divided into two floors allow to host two distinct exhibitions at the same time. In recent years many important art exhibitions have been held, both 'personal' and collective, hosting the best artists of the moment and remembering artists important for our territory. Art can be a powerful vehicle to move people. Art is one of the strategic engines to make our artistic and cultural heritage known. It creates opportunities for meeting and knowledge. It actively contributes to the construction of a network of international relations that allows the Foundation and the Municipality to bring the name of Forte dei Marmi to the world.

A cura Valerio Dehò. Il tema della figura sacra della 'Madonna' viene sviluppato in 11 quadri dall'artista in cui sacro e profano ancora una volta coincidono. Veneziano del resto riprende alcune figure che lo hanno reso famoso, citazioni dall'antico, donne attuali che vestono il velo sacro, cultura alta e bassa che trovano una sintesi ironica ma sempre profonda. Le tecniche miste tra pittura e grafica, sono un omaggio ai 'fondi oro' della tradizione tardo medievale, mentre appaiono immagini e simboli della contemporaneità che annullano ogni distanza culturale tra pittura e fumetto

The Museum offers a permanent section of modern art on the territory with works by artists who, during their lives, have known Forte dei Marmi and have found inspiration for their artistic production here. The headquarters is on the second floor of Villa Bertelli, redesigned to accommodate this extraordinary initiative, which will contribute to the improvement of the cultural offering of the country and to the reappropriation of its historical identity.

Forte dei Marmi, in fact, in addition to being a well-known tourist and seaside destination, in the last century it was the crossroads of various currents of modern art, thanks to intellectuals and famous artists, who holidayed, worked and lived here. Between the two wars, the Caffè Roma, the 'Quarto Platano' in Piazza Garibaldi, had become their meeting place and gave life to a long cultural season, of which fortunately memory has been recovered. The list of names is long and prestigious: from Guido Borgianni, Massimo Campigli, Felice Carena, Bruno Cassinari, to Arturo Dazzi, Giorgio De Chirico, Raffaele De Grada, Achille Funi, Ugo Guidi, from Renato Guttuso, Vasilij Kandinsky, Alberto Magnelli, Giacomo Manzù, Marino Marini, Francesco Messina, to Giuseppe Migneco, Giorgio Morandi, Ottone Rosai, Alberto Savinio, Gino Severini, Ardengo Soffici, Ernesto Treccani; as well as famous writers and poets such as Piero Bigongiari, Magda De Grada, Eugenio Montale, Piero Santi, Giuseppe Ungaretti. A story of the highest order, not only for local culture, but for Italy as a whole, which we have the obligation to remember and enhance.

Collecting the requests of the community of inhabitants, citizens and loyal tourists who own second homes, the Corrente Onlus Foundation has promoted the establishment of a Scientific Committee for the collection of an initial nucleus of works for the establishment of the Museum.

Lo storico dell'arte Davide Pugnana racconta e riannoda i fili che legano l'attività visiva di Leonardo a quella della sua scrittura teorica, declinata in bel volgare fiorentino, lampeggiante di annotazioni memorabili sul modo di trasformare il mondo in opera d'arte.
