Patrizia Comand’s painting was inspired by Sebastian Brant’s book of the same title (Das Narrenschiff), published in the fifteenth century with illustrations by the young Albrecht Dürer. More than 9 meters wide, this impressive work demonstrates the artist’s creative maturity.

Covili’s original, poetic style comes through in more than thirty works, carefully selected by Franco Maria Ricci in collaboration with the artist’s estate.

This body of work is one among many inspired by nature, including insects and plants, for this artist whose work is also informed by both indigenous Mexican traditions and European art.

This exhibition by Florentine photographer Massimo Listri, an internationally renowned master photographer of art, architecture and interiors, is the culmination of his long-standing friendship with publisher Franco Maria Ricci that stretches back more than thirty years.

Gaetano Gandolfi was an eclectic artist who was an important figure in eighteenth-century Bologna. His incredible unpublished watercolor portraits of history’s great botanists and naturalists, exhibited for the first time at Labirinto della Masone, allow us to examine the close relationship between the academies of Art and Science in eighteenth-century Italy.

The Codex Seraphinianus is renowned throughout the world as one of the most mysterious texts ever published: an Encyclopedia of a parallel world whose surreal illustrations are accompanied by strange but precise graphic symbols that appear to be letters of an unknown alphabet.

Antonio Ligabue and Pietro Ghizzardi inaugurate the temporary exhibition spaces of the Labirinto della Masone, each with a solo exhibition.
