Arte contemporanea, fiabe e favole nel racconto di Artbox su Sky Arte

The article previews an upcoming episode of the Italian television program "Artbox" airing on Sky Arte on Tuesday, May 12. The episode visits Castello di Miradolo in Piedmont, where the exhibition "C'è oggi una fiaba" (There Is a Fairy Tale Today) runs until June 21, blending art, literature, and music around childhood themes. Curator Roberto Galimberti and Fondazione Cosso director Paola Eynard discuss the show. The episode also features art historian Maria Vittoria Baravelli's segment "Invito al viaggio," reinterpreting fairy tales as dynamic spaces for growth, referencing artists Luigi Serafini and Luigi Ontani. Additionally, curator Gražina Subelytė discusses the exhibition "Peggy Guggenheim a Londra. Nascita di una collezionista" in Venice, and curators Stefania Bossi, Michele Tavola, and Valentina Cane present the show "Regina. Sperimentatrice geniale" about a prolific sculptor. The program includes a book segment on Orsina Simona Pierini's "I colori delle case. Milan Interiors 1923-1978."

This episode matters because it showcases how Italian television programming like "Artbox" serves as a vital platform for promoting contemporary art exhibitions, cultural heritage sites, and art historical research to a broad audience. By linking fairy tales, historical collections like Peggy Guggenheim's, and experimental sculpture, the episode highlights the interdisciplinary nature of current art discourse in Italy. It also underscores the role of regional museums and foundations—such as Castello di Miradolo and the Museo archeologico nazionale della Lomellina—in sustaining local cultural engagement beyond major urban centers.
