On the occasion of the nineteenth edition of the Giornata del contemporaneo, the Galleria degli stucchi of Palazzo Pianetti becomes the perfect location to host the magnificent mutability of nature during the four seasons captured by photographer Scalpelli, which creates a lyrical dialectic played on chromatic tones with the eighteenth-century "rococo artificial garden". The pastel hues of the gallery's refined decorations seem to listen curiously to the subtle chromatic variations of the foliage in Canfaito or the reflections of snow on the rough bricks in Elcito, a charming hamlet. Moreover, let us not forget that in the past the terraces on the second floor of palazzo Pianetti have been a privileged vantage point for viewing Mount San Vicino, which rises in the soft skyline of the Vallesina and is well visible from afar. This exhibition, therefore, pays homage also to what we might call Jesi’s school of painting, made up of artists such as Betto Tesei, Corrado Corradi and Piero Grizi, active in the first half of the 20th century and remembered for their moving poetry of the Vallesina landscape. A landscape that the Municipality of Jesi intends to enhance, also through the use of new technologies, with the recent creation of a Landscape Interpretation Centre in the premises of the Istituto Marchigiano di Enogastronomia in the seventeenth-century Palazzo Balleani Vecchio, which will also include Gianluca Scalpelli's photographs. This exhibition thus represents a strategic desire to raise awareness of the preservation, enhancement and care of the beauty of the natural landscape, inextricably linked to the cultural landscape, that reminds mankind how it is possible, between the picturesque and the sublime, to rediscover one’s own heimat.
