Margherita Sarfatti: Signs, Colours and Lights in Milan, Museo del Novecento: 21 September 2018-24 February 2019

Immerse yourself in  Margherita’s life story  through about 90 works of the protagonists of the Novecento Italiano artistic movement, of which Sarfatti was a critic.  Paintings and sculptures of 40 artists including Boccioni, Borra, Bucci, de Chirico, Dudreville, Funi, Malerba, Sironi and Wildt are contextualized by films and photographs, letters, invitations to the vernissages, vintage books, and even clothes, glasses and furnishings, with an in-depth analysis from several perspectives on the Milan of the early 20th century.

Her Milanese house  became a meeting place for the major artists and intellectuals of the time, giving birth in 1922 to  the so-called "Twentieth Century Group" which was joined by artists such as Mario Sironi, Achille Funi, Piero Marussig, Malerba and Oppes who wished to go beyond the legacy left by the Futurist vanguard, re-establishing in art the return to "order and figuration".
