EUROVISION 2022: AN EVENT NOT TO BE MISSED
CONCERT The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 will be the 66th edition of the annual world-famous song contest (born in Lugano in 1956). It is also the most-watched non-sporting event in the world: last years’ international audience figures were estimated at around 500 million viewers. The competition is broadcast live on radio and television on the main and secondary channels of the members of the European Union as well as through the Eurovision network and in Australia, Canada, China and the United States of America. Since 2016, it is also broadcast on YouTube through the event’s official channel. It will take place from 10 to 14 May at the PalaOlimpico in Turin, following Måneskin’s victory with “Zitti e buoni” in the previous edition. It will be the third edition of the music event to take place in Italy, after the 1965 (Naples) and 1991 (Rome) editions. The event will be hosted by TV host Alessandro Cattelan, singer Laura Pausini and Lebanese-British singer Mika. The slogan of the 2022 edition is “The Sound of Beauty”.

GALLERIE D’ITALIA-TORINO, FROM 17 MAY AT THE HEART OF PHOTOGRAPHY
NEW MUSEUM At the centre of the new Intesa Sanpaolo museum in Turin is the world of photography in its many facets and its ability to tell the story of history and contemporaneity. The opening to the public on 17 May is celebrated with two temporary exhibitions, a double opportunity to visit the new museum in Palazzo Turinetti, which houses the permanent collection of the Publifoto Archive, owned by the Intesa Sanpaolo Bank.
>> These are the two photographic exhibitions at the Gallerie d'ItaliaTurin in Piazza San Carlo: “La fragile meraviglia. Un viaggio nella natura che cambia” (The fragile wonder. A journey through changing nature) by Paolo Pellegrin, a photographic reportage dedicated to the theme of climate change (curated by the art critic Walter Guadagnini with the contribution of the writer Mario Calabresi); “Dalla guerra alla luna. 1945-1969. Sguardi dall'Archivio Publifoto Intesa Sanpaolo” (From War to the Moon. 1945-1969. Glances from the Publifoto Archive) a selection of historical images from the Publifoto Archive curated by photo editor Giovanna Calvenzi and art critic Aldo Grasso, documenting the economic miracle up to the greatest conquest of modern man, the moon landing.

LINGOTTO FIERE, 19-23 MAY
A GREAT CULTURAL FESTIVAL
FAIR The Torino International Book Fair is the largest Italian publishing fair, taking place every year for five days. The fair annually hosts more than a thousand publishers and brings together booksellers, authors, translators, journalists, and avid readers. This year, the fair’s 34th edition is titled “Wild Hearts,” encouraging people to be free and do what their hearts desire. The Book Fair celebrates Italian literary culture and introduces new audiences to authors. From literature to philosophy, from science to art, from journalism to religion, from cinema to music: as every year, some of the most influential and interesting cultural figures in the world meet at the Salone in Turin. Inside the Lingotto, almost forty rooms for a programme of over 1200 events.

GREAT MASTERS OF THE LENS
FIRST IN ITALY
PHOTOGRAPHY An extraordinary selection of over 230 photographic works from the first half of the 20th century, absolute masterpieces in the history of photography by the great masters of the lens. Just as the contemporaries Matisse, Picasso and Duchamp were able to revolutionise the languages of the plastic arts, so the artists in the exhibition redefined the canons of photography, making it take on an absolutely central role in the development of the avant-garde movements at the beginning of the century. A creative ferment that began in Europe and finally arrived in the United States, which increasingly welcomed intellectuals fleeing the war, becoming the world’s main centre of artistic production in the 1940s. On show are works by the great American and European photographers, from Henri Cartier-Bresson to André Kertész, and the exponents of the first modern female photography, from Tina Modotti to Leni Riefenstahl.

MUSEO EGIZIO, UNTIL 5 JUNE
ITALIAN ART AND EGYPTIAN HISTORY
EXHIBITION The Museo Egizio exhibit celebrates the 150th birthday of Aida, the famous opera by Giuseppe Verdi. The exhibition recounts the origin, history, and relationships that contributed to the creation of the masterpiece about Ancient Egypt. Analyzing the dialogue between Europe and Egypt at the time, the exhibition displays the idea that music remains the unifying link between two opposite cultures. Four videos narrate the making of the exhibition and allow you to meet the professionals who produced some of the materials that make up the exhibition project. These include models of the costumes, a scale replica of one of the original sets and a model of the Temple of Hathor that was built for the 1867 Universal Exhibition in Paris.

PALAZZINA DI CACCIA DI STUPINIGI, UNTIL 5 JUNE FRIDA: THE WOMAN, ARTIST AND LOVER
ART An emotional journey through the life of renowned icon Frida Kahlo. A unique exhibition that explores the woman – renowned for her strength, courage, talent and love – rather than the artist. Mexico’s most prolific, well-known and dearlyloved artist is revealed through the lens of Nickolas Muray, her friend and lover. The exhibition features the complete collection of 60 photos taken by Muray, including the iconic “Frida Kahlo on White Bench”, plus reproductions of the things that Frida loved best: her famous bed, her Mexican outfits and her jewelry.

FONDAZIONE MERZ, UNTIL 22 MAY WHEN WORK... IS NOT A GAME
EXHIBITION An unprecedented site-specific exhibition, curated by Caroline Bourgeois (from the Pinault Collection in Paris): the first solo exhibition in Italy by French artist Bertille Bak takes its title from the video installation “Mineur Mineur” (literally “underage miner”). A tale of child labour inspired by the personal story of the artist, who looks with humanity and attention at the lives of human beings more unfortunate than ourselves. The vertical space of the Fondazione Merz contrasts with the abyssal depths of the earth where children are driven to work: a tragic destiny told through playful evocations.

MUSEI REALI, UNTIL 26 JUNE
THE “STREET ART” BY VIVIAN MAIER
PHOTOGRAPHY The exhibition at the Sale Chiablese of the Musei Reali presents over 250 images by Vivian Maier (19262009), one of the leading exponents of what has come to be knowns as “street photography”. Many of the images on display are never seen before or rare, such as colour works, as well as Super 8 videos and her personal objects such as her Rolleiflex and Leica cameras, and one of her hats. From his famous selfportraits (reflected in mirrors and shop windows) to shots taken on the go on the streets of New York and Chicago, portraits and gestures fixed by his lens are often anecdotes, coincidences, oversights of reality: and this is his stylistic signature. One section is devoted to shots, never seen before, taken during this singular and mysterious “artist’s” trip to Italy, particularly in Turin and Genoa.

THE WORLD OF BANKSY IN TURIN
EXHIBITION The Bristol-based artist conquers Turin with a new exhibition at the Sala degli Stemmi in the Torino Porta Nuova Station, the “gateway” to the city par excellence that welcomes thousands of visitors and travellers every day. The immersive exhibition features more than 30 new works never exhibited before, including “Flower Thrower”, “Steve Jobs”, “Girl With Baloon” and “Waiting In Vain”, in addition to works and murals created by anonymous young artists from all over Europe. In total, more than 130 works are on display, revealing the world of the mysterious British artist, who is famous for tackling political and social issues with irony. This is the second stop in Italy - after Milan - of a long journey for Banksy, who is going from station to station across Europe and beyond (Paris, Barcelona, Prague, Brussels and Dubai). The aim is to convey his message through his works, which offer both a touch of art and food for thought.

FOCUS ON FOREIGN ART
ART An exhibition at GAM in Turin presents 33 major artists from the international scene through 56 works, many of which have not had the opportunity to be shown to the public in recent years. This exhibition is part of a process of internationalisation of the museum, which began many years ago: in addition to works by European and American artists, many works now come from different cultures and languages, from China to Cuba to Africa. The artists selected for this exhibition belong to different generations, from the 1930s (Georg Baselitz) to the generation born in the 1970s (Kcho, Hannah Starkey, Laurent Grasso).

WONDERS FROM ANTIQUITY
MUSEUM In recent weeks, a new area dedicated to the civilisations of the ancient Mediterranean has been opened on the ground floor of the Manica Nuova of the Royal Museums, housing artefacts of rare beauty and inestimable historical value. The Royal Museums today preserve a cultural heritage that ranges from prehistory to modernity, looking at the history of the civilisations of Europe and the world. More than a thousand works, some of which have never been exhibited before, cover over 400 years of history thanks to the collections of the House of Savoy and the discoveries of explorers and entrepreneurs. In 10 rooms, divided into 5 sections, are exhibited finds from Mesopotamia, Greek and Roman statues, Greek pottery, Etruscan and Phoenician funerary elements. Among the iconic objects selected by the curators is the sculptural portrait of Caesar, considered by experts to be one of the closest resemblances to the leader.

A GREEN HEART FOR THE ROYAL CITY
GARDEN After a long wait of more than five years, the Giardini Reali - the green heart embracing Turin’s Royal Museums complex - have recently reopened to the public. The route includes the Ducal Garden, north of the Royal Palace, the Levante Garden and the Boschetto.The important restoration work on the Fountain of the Nereids and the Tritons in the Giardino di Levante, the surrounding wall and the Bastions completes the restitution of one of the most evocative places in the city and of great importance for its high historical and artistic value. Playful perspectives and sculptures created according to the Baroque taste, a natural continuation of the tour that flows from the halls of the Royal Palace and the Galleria Sabauda to the outside. On this occasion the archaeological area of the Roman Theatre was also recovered, which together with the Porta Palatina is the most important Roman monument preserved in the city.

LEONARDO DA VINCI
EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITIONS Some of Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous drawings are preserved in a vault in the heart of the Royal Library of Turin: the “Codex on the Flight of Birds” and 13 drawings, including the famous “SelfPortrait”. The exceptionally valuable works documenting the activity of the great master of the Italian Renaissance – from the beginning of his career in Florence to his Milanese studies of machines – will only be exhibited to the public during Easter Holy Week in the coming years, in order to prevent long exposure from damaging them. This longterm planning will therefore make it possible to plan one's visit at a fixed time, preparing oneself in advance.
>> The next dates are: 8-16 April 2023, 30 March-7 April 2024 and 19-27 April 2025.
