Focus

Exhibitions

The section dedicated to the exhibitions organized and curated by the Giancarlo Ligabue Foundation in Italy and abroad, from 2016 to the present day.

Magazine

Over thirty years of enthusiasm for culture gathered in a biannual magazine that we have been publishing with continuity since 1981.

Events

“Conoscere e far conoscere” (to know and to make known), here are all the events of communication and divulgation, the occasion of cultural meetings that promote the pleasure of learning.

Highlights

Another great award for Power and Prestige!

The exhibition catalog was awarded the “Pierre Moos” International Art Book Prize, whose aim is to highlight the quality, diversity and richness of specialized publishing in the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia and the Americas, published in French and English.

Launched in 2009 by Tribal Art Magazine, the award is associated with the leading international art fair, Parcours des Mondes, and with Christie’s as a partner.

The new Ligabue Magazine issue!

Ligabue Magazine 83 is out, and like each issue of our magazine, it takes us on a journey through time and space.
And it is precisely sustainable tourism, in environmental, social and economic terms, that we talk about in one of the articles. We also discover the ice of Antarctica and then continue along the coast of Peru to encounter the pre-Inca culture of the Moche. We return to Italy, first to Naples, where the strange cult of “anime pezzentelle” was born and then to Venice to discover the “pissabraghe” strange cone-shaped structures at the corners of the calli.   Finally, let’s talk more about travel: that of pearls, the first and most desirable object of the rich and powerful since the late Middle Ages, between Venice, Seville and the East.

Travel with us!
