SpinetiX showcased “Guercino in Piacenza (Italy)”, an outstanding digital signage installation which is very engaging and culturally rich, yet presented in an accessible and captivating way. Guercino in Piacenza project was created with: SpinetiX Elementi software SpinetiX HMP350 The exhibit of Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as the Guercino, was featured in Piacenza. A Baroque artist born in Cento, almost four hundred years ago in 1627 accomplished one of the most significant works of his career as a painter: the magnificent cycle that decorates the dome of the Cathedral. The city celebrated the 17th century painter with a great event, unfolding in a series of initiatives that connect two symbolic places of the city, the Cathedral and the Farnese Palace, in an evocative journey that allows you to admire some of the undoubted masterworks of the artist and to discover the discrete charm of a city rich of treasures. Through the creative use of multimedia, the visitor is engaged in a sort of time travel to the times of Guercino to learn about the artistic and religious context and of the key characters that determined the arrival of the painter to Piacenza. Guercino himself is the exceptional narrator who accompanies the public along on a journey through his preparatory sketches and his inspiring ideas to trace the genesis of the frescoes. Guercino invites us to go up together with him on the scaffolding to show how a “good fresco” is painted: the spectator finds himself next to Guercino, in front of his powerful characters, represented in real scale.
