Plinio Nomellini

About the exhibition

Plinio Nomellini was shown at Milan’s Palazzo della Permanente from 6 February to 10 March 1985 and at the Palazzo dell’Accademia Ligustica in Genoa during March and April. The Permanente’s catalogue register identifies Gianfranco Bruno as the editor of the exhibition catalogue, published by Stringa in 1985. Two paintings lent by the Galleria Giannoni in Novara document the selection: Il figlio, a portrait of the artist’s son Vittorio dated about 1907, and Sole e brina, a landscape dated 1905–1910 by the museum. The museum relates these works to Nomellini’s early twentieth-century artistic culture and Divisionist painting. Their transcribed reverse labels identify catalogue numbers 51 and 61 at the Milan exhibition and separately name the Genoa presentation. This reconstruction records those two exact canvases within one travelling exhibition. The complete original catalogue remains unexamined, and the precise opening and closing days in Genoa remain unknown.
