ART, MADNESS AND UTOPIA

Roberta Bonazza, historian and curator of cultural projects

A story, a true story: that of the painting atelier opened in 1957
inside the Verona Psychiatric Hospital.
A fortuitous intertwining of inside and outside, in which the people made the difference.
Among these the sculptor Pino Castagna
who was the first to talk about his participation in the atelier adventure.
Inside the atelier an artist stood out, Carlo Zinelli,
who still today is among the best known outsider artists in Italy and abroad.
An intense thesis journey, for the interviews collected, the meetings, the discovery of the potential of art
and above all for the charge of humanity that the story summarizes in the stories of the protagonists.
