Galleria d'Arte Moderna Achille Forti (Verona, Italy)

The museum resides within Palazzo della Ragione – Verona’s iconic medieval building – creating a unique juxtaposition of eras and enhancing visitor experience.

Emilio Vedova (1919-2006) from a very young age, showed a strong passion for drawing. In Venice, he began attending the art school at the Carmini, although his training was mainly self-taught and conducted through the study of Venetian painters, Tintoretto being the foremost. In the immediate postwar period, he became one of the protagonists of abstractionism, which for him was a tool capable of bringing to light what would otherwise remain invisible.
