curated by Guido Bartorelli
 

The Studio at Monte Olimpino was set up in 1962 as an experimental cinema workshop in Monte Olimpino near Como and continued to function until 1972. The retrospective presents a broad selection of films spawned by collaborative partnership between the great artist, designer and paedogogue Bruno Munari (Milan, 1907 – 1998) and Marcello Piccardo (Genoa, 1914 – Como, 1999), a tireless experimenter in the world of film and television.

Their output was a milestone in Italian experimental cinema and helped to weave the background fabric for the video art that was to come after it.
