Late XIX Century

English mahogany bookcase, base and top with pair of glass doors, rounded uprights with alternating gouges and floral carvings. Adjustable shelves with internal rack. England, late 19th century.

Oil painting on canvas. Northern Italian school of the eighteenth century. The landscape, set on the banks of a wide river, sees in the center some figures of peasants intent on picking fruit from a tree: a girl holds the ladder while the boy cuts off a bunch, on the left another couple places the fruit collected in a tub. All around a vast green countryside and some farmhouses. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.

Mixed media on canvas. The large scene, painted in the unique reddish-pink range, features two large figures on the right, while the entire left side is occupied by a desert landscape, with the waves of the dunes fading into the distance. The two figures depict a seated horseman, wearing a turban and Saracen dress, being fed by a maiden in Western dress, who is handing him a tray laden with food, while on the shelf below is a basin of water, ears of corn and various fruits. This could be one of the many representations of the story of Angelica and Medoro, recounted by Ariosto in Orlando Furioso, which tells of the love between the Christian maiden and the Saracen knave wounded in a clash, who then fled together to Catai, thus triggering Orlando's madness. The work is presented in a frame.

Winter landscape

Pastels on paper applied to canvas. Signed lower left. The large landscape is completely dominated by the play of colour: divided into two hemifields given by the sky and the earth (a mountainous land where sporadic fir trees sprout), it sees the pinkish blue of the sky prevail above, under the greenish blue of the snow on the ground , two shades of the same color range that then meet in the skyline of the mountains. Cinotti was a landscape painter who was an exponent of Italian Divisionism, whose painting is characterized by a material and pasty application with touches of spatulated color. In coeval frame.

Italy, Early XIX Century

The marble bust depicts a young woman with a smiling face. Her curly hair wraps around her face, and her long hair is pulled back into a ponytail. A light veil reveals the young woman's breasts. The sculptor's skill lies in the creation of a work that expresses lightness.

Quali significati simbolici sono nascosti nella struttura dei castelli e delle chiese della Valle d'Aosta? Come si svolgevano le famose "cacce reali" a stambecchi e camosci, che impegnarono i Savoia, in particolare il Roi Chasseur Vittorio Emanuele II? Quali sono le radici culturali dei giochi tradizionali e della Bataille de reines, il combattimento delle mucche che coinvolge locali e forestieri? Come mai alle falde del ghiacciaio del Ruitor affiorano tracce di torba? Questa guida, fondandosi su una prospettiva antropologica e geografica, offre una lettura davvero insolita della regione valdostana.
