Almost one hundred years ago, on November 9, 1923, Suzzara solemnly received the title of "City." In a century the appearance of Suzzara has changed radically, just as different are, today, the languages of art and architecture that we see in the museum and walking through the streets. There is, however, one feature that jumps out at us, and that takes us back to the period of the 1920s, when those beautiful Art Nouveau and eclectic villas were built in Suzzara, which still represent the town's distinguishing feature, and which place it in a panorama with a European outlook: that same decorative and floral style, which in Italy and the Anglo-Saxon world is called "Liberty," in France takes the name "Art Nouveau," and in German-speaking countries "Jugendstil."
On Saturday, October 7, 2023, at 6 p.m., on the occasion of the Day of the Contemporary, the major event promoted by AMACI - Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums with the support of the Ministry of Culture's Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity, the Suzzara Prize Gallery Museum is offering an urban trek and a lecture with Diego Furgeri, discovering the style of the 1920s and the artistic language that made Suzzara a "city of Europe." The initiatives are part of the celebrations that the City of Suzzara is promoting for #Suzzara100, the Centenary of Suzzara City (1923-2023).
