A new space is in addition to the
increasingly dynamic and various background of Art galleries in Rome.
It's called Rufartgallery, is located in the Salario-Parioli
district, a step from Piazza Verbano, in Via Benaco 2, and has opened
its activity in 2006, April, with a great event dedicated to Futurism.
Paintings by Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Italo Griselli, Mario Menin and
drawings by Fortunato Depero and Gino Severini have been exhibited for the launch
of the last-born between the roman Art galleries.
Ala Marinetti, the daughter of the founder of the Futurism, has been the honorary
patroness of the Ceremony.
Designed by the designer Romeo Guaricci in collaboration with the architect Alessandro
Gori and the set designer Alessandro Vergoz, from an idea by Andrea Romoli Barberini,
Rufartgallery reflects the wishes of RUFA to provide an equipped place able to
increase the dialogue between our Academic Institution, with its educational
and cultural activities, and the “system of the Art”.
The Gallery, real centre of the Academy, also because of its location, is placed
in a fully equipped room and is accessible through the evocative lecture halls
that are part of the School of Painting.
In addition to the exhibitions of our professors and students, of artists coming
from other Italian Fine Art Academies and training institutions, the exhibition
programme, will include events dedicated to both famous and new artists emerging
from outside the context of the academies.
Moreover, RUFA offers its
students a website, a real virtual gallery, in which they can exhibit
their work.
The RUFARTGALLERY
website has been entirely designed and created by students of
the Graphic Design Course.
