GIUSEPPE PALANTI. PITTORE, URBANISTA, ILLUSTRATORE

Scheduled along with the great exhibitions of the San Domenico Museum in Forlì, which will be dedicated to the 20th century and to Rationalism - Wildt, l'anima e le forme fra Michelangelo e Klimt, from January to June 2012, and Dux, from January to June 2013 - the display about Giuseppe Palanti will present a portrait of life in the 20th century, through paintings, urban planning, advertising graphics and architecture.

This great artist from Milan is considered as Milano Marittima's founding father. He had the vision to set up a society called Milano Marittima, that gave its name to the place. We also owe him, who was called by the people of Cervia "e nostar pitor" - in the local dialect "our painter"- credit for the garden city urban planning, as well as the first advertising posters.
