  • Maria Skłodowska-Curie's Warsaw
    Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s Warsaw ROUTE PL 1 Presentation of the route Places related to Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s childhood and youth. The route takes you to the footsteps of the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize and, so far, the only one who has been awarded the Nobel Prize for two different scientific disciplines (chemistry and physics). Maria Skłodowska- Curie was born in Warsaw, where she spent her childhood and youth too. From a very young age, she was fond of walking by the Wisła river. Today, a statue of Skłodowska- Curie in Warsaw’s New Town looks towards the Wisła river. It is the first waypoint of our route. Maria Skłodowska belonged to a generation of emancipated Polish women who, thanks to the schools for girls and the so-called Flying University (Uniwersytet Latający) in Warsaw received an education which enabled them to undertake university studies that were inaccessible to women in the Russian Empire. The walk leads through the places where Maria Skłodowska lived, studied, grew up and celebrated her successes.

  • The Art of Wearing Art Igor Mitoraj's Jewelries
    THE ART OF WEARING ART IGOR MITORAJ’S JEWELRIES CONTINI ART GALLERY – CALLE LARGA XXII MARZO – VENEZIA May 19th – December 15th 2018 The Contini Art Gallery is pleased to present, as an absolute preview, a very important collection: “Igor Mitoraj’s Jewels: The Art of Wearing Art”, to be held in its location at Calle Larga XXII Marzo in Venice. For over twenty years the Contini Art Gallery has dedicated particular attention to Igor Mitoraj, one of the most significant artists in the national and international contemporary scene, a point of reference for art collectors from all over the world. Mitoraj's artistic creation is very elaborate. Carrara marble, travertine, bronze with patinas of different colors characterize his sculptures, even monumental, but in addition to this well established and well- known production, his sensitivity has been able to express itself in another less known form: jewels. The exhibition, that will be inaugurated on May 19th at the Contini Art Gallery in Venice, is going to propose a wide selection of jewels, over twenty pieces including necklaces, bracelets, rings and brooches. These refined objects are evidence of a deep research between tradition, taste, harmony, beauty and art, through the processing of precious materials such as yellow gold, white, pink and silver.
