The Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation has decided to promote some of the initiatives taking place in 2024 to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Francesco Leonetti<\/a> (Cosenza 1924 \u2013 Milan 2017)<\/strong>, including an exhibition dedicated to the relationship between Leonetti and Pomodoro<\/strong>, which will be held between September and October at the Almo Collegio Borromeo in Pavia<\/strong>. Two years after the inauguration of the Horti<\/a><\/strong>, this new initiative further strengthens the collaboration between the Foundation and the Collegio Borromeo<\/strong>, in the name of culture, art, and literature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Francesco Leonetti and Arnaldo Pomodoro<\/span> met in<\/span><\/strong> Milano in 1963<\/strong>. Leonetti<\/span> had just moved<\/span> from Bologna<\/span> at the invitation of Elio Vittorini<\/span> to <\/span>create <\/span>\"Gulliver\"<\/span>, an international magazine that <\/span>would have involved figures such as Italo Calvino and Roland Barthes<\/span>.<\/span> The project never came to fruition, but in the meantime, <\/span>a job at Garzanti allowed him to start putting down roots in the city<\/span>.<\/span> At the same time,<\/span> Pomodoro was creating<\/span>,<\/span> that same year<\/span>,<\/span> his first <\/span>Sphere<\/span><\/em>, <\/span>and <\/span>won<\/span> the \u201cInternational Sculpture Prize\u201d at the 7th S\u00e3o Paulo Art Biennial in Brazil, <\/span>which would serve as a springboard for him onto the international art scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomodoro and Leonetti are almost the same age and are engaged in an expressive research that is similar in many ways<\/strong>, in which what counts is the polyphony of languages and the experimentalism based on the dialectical relationship between continuity with the past and innovative break. The two immediately formed a deep friendship, a partnership that would not stop until Leonetti's death in 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Through the works<\/strong> and documents<\/strong> on display, the exhibition will tell the story of this friendship and this intellectual exchange that lasted over fifty years<\/strong>, through the many opportunities for collaboration, exchange and mutual enrichment between Pomodoro and Leonetti.<\/p>\n

In occasion of the exhibition<\/strong>, il 3 ottobre alle ore 17:30<\/strong> (Sala Bianca del Collegio Borromeo) l\u2019Almo Collegio Borromeo, Horti e Fondazione organizzano una tavola rotonda <\/b>per analizzare, attraverso il contributo di studiosi di arte e di letteratura, le ragioni del sodalizio tra Francesco Leonetti e Arnaldo Pomodoro e per discutere sull\u2019interazione tra scrittura e linguaggio plastico che ha caratterizzato la ricerca dei due autori.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t
