RENAISSANCE

Renaissance
National Gallery Of Australia
15th & 16th Century Italian Paintings from the
Accademia Carrara, Bergamo.


This unique exhibition offers audiences an unparalleled chance to see Early and High Renaissance paintings by some of the greatest European artists.

Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini and Titian are represented among an amazing gamut of talent and creative splendour.




More than 70 works on canvas and panel will be on display, made between 1400 and 1600 by painters in northern and central Ita
ly.
Of extraordinary quality, the paintings come from Venice, Florence, Padua, Ferrara, Bergamo and Siena.
Subjects range from touching depictions of the Madonna and Child, the lives of the Saints and moving renditions of the Crucifixion to insightful portraits of nobles.



The genius of Raphael and Titian is known to all, but lesser known painters such as Tura, Crivelli, Lotto, Carpaccio, Perugino and Moroni will also announce their prodigious talents.

Giovani Italiani Australia presents

MELBOURNE GIA FORUM 2011

Giovani Italiani Australia (GIA) is the national network of Italian young people in Australia and organises regular national Forums. These Forums bring together our community for a weekend of social networking opportunities, fun and discussions about the future of the Italian community.

Workshops that will be presented at the Forum include examining rules concerning Italian citizenship, the future of Italian language in Australia, connecting with our cultural roots with Mangia ! Mangia! , launching our much-anticipated website, the Punto Informativo, and engaging in a fun Scopa Competition.

The 2011 Forum will take place in Melbourne from
the 25th to the 27th of November 2011


In the morning of Sunday, 27 November 2011 from 10 - 11am at the Museo Italiano, we will be hosting at Mercato della Domenica. We anticipate that approximately 80 young people will attend the Forum and that the Mercato della Domenica will be a good opportunity for local group and organisations to set up a trestle table with flyers and information on their organisation to provide to participants.
Visit us at www.gia.org.au/forum to check out the complete program and description of activities.

Please contact Federica Cologni at federica.cologni@hotmail.it if you want to be included in the Mercato della Domenica on 27 November or just for further information.
