DOMODOSSOLA 26 May to 26 October 2024 Lorenzo Peretti (1871 – 1953). Nature and Mystery is the new exhibition organised by Collezione Poscio in the exhibition space of Casa De Rodis in Domodossola. The exhibition, curated by Elena Pontiggia, investigates for the first time organically the figure of Peretti, the most mysterious and unknown of the Vigezzo painters, setting him in the context of his time. The exhibition includes about eighty works and retraces the brief life of this singular artist (‘a misanthropic character and an artist in the true sense of the word’, as his master Enrico Cavalli used to say about him), who painted for only a dozen years, never exhibited in his life and did not let anyone into his studio, so much so that his figure as a cultured intellectual, pervaded by religious tension, was often mistaken for that of an alchemist smelling of witchcraft
