It will be set up in the elegant spaces of the Grand Hotel, with an itinerary among photographs, texts, playbills, family heirlooms, audiovisual and unpublished contributions, narrating the thought of a unique artist who often went against the trend of Italian customs.

The "Terrace" continues on 1 August with interviews with Umberto Brindani, editor of Gente, Marco Camisani Calzolari, university lecturer and consultant for the Department of Digital Transformation, journalist and writer Federico Ruffo.
