Today it is Enrico and Paolo Barni, Luciano’s grandsons, who carry on with pride and passion a reality that has conquered the market over the years.

The secret of Calzoleria Italiana’s success starts with the constant passion that has always distinguished this company, but also the ability to keep up with the times by trying to meet trends and attitudes even if the classic imprint remains.

Each shoe is born from a heritage of craftsmanship techniques that combine quality and unique design to give the wearer elegance and personality.

All processes from drawing to pattern making to sample making to store release are steps strictly followed in-house.

The collection of Calzoleria Toscana

Tuscan shoemaking e Rosso Fiorentino represent the two main lines

From classic to trendy , from sneakers to the finest crocodile models Calzoleria Toscana has an eclectic offering.

The company’s true signature is the original technique of garment-dyed, a process in which shoes are soaked in a drum (a large washing machine) for eight hours, washed and dyed with natural pigments, and then left to rest for two days. The result is a leather with rich, muted colors, reminiscent of old-world elegance, but with a softness and comfort that lasts.

Present at the presentation of the works and the artist were CCM Museum President Mariagrazia Minio and Co-founder Carmelo Fabio D’Antoni Maestro D’Arte, who described the artist’s work as follows “With his personal painting technique, in a symbolic figurative, through faces, elaborate colors and dreamlike details, Master Shlomo Tuvia offers us, through his works, elaborate memories and deep emotions in which the viewer can identify with“.

His patient self-taught research also takes inspiration from great masters such as Salvator Dali, Picasso and Modigliani, research and talent that day after day led him to refine an artistic expression of great emotional impact, sometimes surrealist and sometimes expressionist.

The son of deaf-mute parents who survived the Holocaust, he took up painting to communicate with them, his works are thus the precious fruit of an inspiration of the soul and a difficult life experience that Master Shlomo Tuvia had to process on his own.

Shlomo Tuvia, class of 1958 is one of the most intriguing and influential artists in the Jewish community of our time.

Residing with his family in the San Fernando Valley, Master Shlomo Tuvia works primarily from his studio in Malibu.

He recently presented his work at the LA Art Show at the LA Live complex located in downtown Los Angeles and sold his artwork with great success in Japan .

His work is on display in several galleries throughout Los Angeles, including MRG Fine Art Gallery, and he has been selected to show his work in one of Italy’s most renowned galleries in Rome and Milan.

The awards ceremony of the 1st edition of the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation Prize, aimed at emerging artists in both traditional and innovative expressions of art, concluded last Nov. 11 in the splendid setting of Villa Tuscolana in Frascati.

The President of the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation, Fabrizio Checchi, outlined the Foundation’s goals and activities, namely the popularization of Amedeo Modigliani’s life and work and the efforts to combat counterfeiting and speculation about the Master’s works, previewing his book The centennial scandal.

Awards were then given to the winners for the different categories:

Painting: Federica Poletti

Sculpture: Johan Friso

Photography: Sara Scarpaci

Installation: Clelia Liberti

Digital Art: Attilio Geva

Literature: Claudia Speziali

The winners of the painting, sculpture, photography, digital art and installation art sections will be given a solo exhibition by the Foundation at its Rome headquarters, formerly the House of Cultures; the winner of the literature section will have her unpublished work published, and all finalists will be given a group exhibition at the Foundation’s Rome headquarters.

Also honored with the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation Award were Adolfo Bartolo, director of photography; Francesco Randazzo, writer and director; Samir Al Qaryout, international journalist; Eolo Perfido, photographer; and Carla Modigliani.

Each of the awardees was presented with a Modigliani head, a handmade, limited-edition sculpture in Valencia porcelain and gold.

The sculptures are a tribute to Master Amedeo Modigliani on the 100th anniversary of his death, made by Fernando Altamirano, CEO and founder of By Verachi Studio, designer of the unique porcelain and platinum, porcelain and 24K gold bottles that contain a special reserve of natural red wine from Vigneron Raphael Pommier, owner of the organic Notre Dame de Cousignac estate, dating back to 1780. Altamirano has created some of the world’s most exclusive bottles of wine, cognac, tequila, mezcal and water since 1996.

In late November, the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation will publish the call for entries for the 2nd edition of the Prize.

Passionate, provocative, free-spirited, and forward-thinking: we trace the rise, fall, and new limelight of the Polish artist

Women in art history have, unfortunately, been numerically inferior to male artists. Partly because they were once not allowed to express themselves through art, and partly because they were opposed by a macho system that has always prevented them from making their way in this world.
Until the mid-20th century, there were few women who had managed to make an impact on the art history scene. One of these is definitely Tamara de Lempicka.
An enterprising and passionate woman, she was born in Poland in the late 1800s. After touring Europe, marrying at a very young age in Russia and having quite a few problems with the law because of her political views, she settled in Paris where in the 1920s she came across the painting/stylistic style most in vogue at that time and became one of its major exponents: theArt Deco.
In love with the female figure (she was openly bisexual, at a time in history when expressing one’s sexual orientation was taboo), she painted strong women with marked features, angular faces and soft, round physiques. Enterprising women, modern women, brash and uncompromising women, women of high society and women of ill repute. Naked or dressed in a simple veil. In chaste clothes and in provocative outfits. Women smoking and driving. Sad women and severe women. Orgies of women. Masculine women. Sometimes also men but with female facial features.

Lempicka’s focus on the female figure has led many to think that part of the author’s own history, the strong character she possessed and the mental freedom she had, was hidden in her portraits. Tamara de Lempicka was all of her women.
In the early 1940s, just before the outbreak of World War II, she moved to Beverly Hills with her second husband. America and modernity moved her away from Art Deco and closer to abstract art. He also became nomadic in the United States. He moved first to Huston and then to New York, as his art became less and less impactful and slowly fell into oblivion. Now elderly, she left the comforts of the States and fell in love with rough Mexico, where she died in silence in 1980.

It was not until after her death that another woman, as free and enterprising as she was, a lover of art and women, succeeded in rehabilitating her name and artistry: it was thanks to the singer Madonna that Tamara de Lempicka’s name returned to prominence. A great collector of her works, Madonna uses her paintings in several music videos, imitating their style and poses in photo shoots. Great fashion photographers and famous directors reproduce for Madonna the colors and lights of Tamara de Lempicka’s works. Her name returns to the art market, her works are dusted off and begin to tour museums around the world, winning an audience of admirers and scholars who will give Lempicka’s great talent the esteem it deserves.
Tamara de Lempicka was all of her women. Most likely Madonna is one of them.

It always made me smile at people’s reaction whenever I mentioned Keith Haring. The puzzled look to say, “Who are you talking about?” but if to his name you also show any of his work, his unparalleled style, then people’s faces light up, “Ah yes yes! Now I understand who he is!”
It makes me smile because, 30 years after his death, Keith Haring’s purpose can be called more than achieved.
But let’s start step by step.
Keith Haring was born in Pennsylvania in 1958. Since childhood, he has shown a strong artistic bent by drawing fictional characters that are a mix between a comic book and a cartoon. A middle-class family, they supported his artistic flair by enrolling him in art school, and that is when Keith learned the techniques and knowledge of history’s great artists, from Michelangelo to Leonardo Da Vinci, via Caravaggio to Botero.

 

The very strong desire to see all the works live pursued him for years, he wanted to be able to see with his own eyes the colors of the world’s most famous canvases, to understand the technique of color and painting, but at the same time he began to limit a political and social idea of art that would be defined precisely through the study of artists: the artist’s work as a social concept.
Squeezed into the provincial American mentality at age 19, he left his hometown to move to cosmopolitan New York City, which would introduce him to fame and popularity, serve as a springboard for his artistic vision but at the same time serve as a hefty bill to pay for a dissolute and promiscuous life.
In his New York years, Haring felt free to live out his homosexuality, which until then he had kept under lock and key, unacceptable in his country of origin, and not only began to experiment with sex with men but made his sexual orientation a political and social action apt to rid the world of the prejudice and stigma of AIDS that in those years had led to gays being discriminated against and hated more than usual.

“His last public work, a year before he died, was in 1989 in Pisa. He painted the facade of the church of Sant’Antonio Abbate, and the work (one of the few with a title) is called ALL THE WORLD. It is a huge depiction of the world, of what Haring hoped the world would become, of love and brotherhood.”

He meets the greatest exponents of Pop Art-Andy Wharol, Jean-Michael Basquiat, and Lee Quinones-but he hates the idea of artwork remaining locked in a museum. Thus the conception of making his worldview in every part visible. He began painting in small public spaces in the subway where people passing by could become familiar with his style. Walls of buildings, cars, plastic bottles, cups and T-shirts. He painted everywhere. Even on himself. Hence his democratic idea of art.
His messages are about freedom, peace, equality. But also very intimate: his pains, fears and passion for sex. He is obsessed with the idea that everyone should know his art, even those who are not interested in art or who cannot afford to go to a museum. And in an age still far removed from social, so he plans to make his images fluent through two major channels very close to young people: MTV and SWATCH watches. In no time his works became iconic becoming the quintessential symbol of the 1980s.
Start traveling the world. His works can be traced to all European capitals and South America. In New York, in the Soho neighborhood, Pop Shop opens. It sells gadgets engraved with his most iconic works but is also a space for young artists can experiment and showcase their artwork.

He died at the age of 31 from complications of AIDS. Realizing he would not live long, he founded the Keith Haring Foundation to support artists who send messages of peace and equality.
His last public work, a year before he died, was in 1989 in Pisa. He painted the facade of the church of St. Anthony Abbot, and the work (one of the few that has a title) is called ALL THE WORLD. It is a huge depiction of the world, of what Haring hoped the world would become, of love and brotherhood.
