Opening hours 10.00 – 13.00/16.00 – 19.30

The paintings of Gaetano Porcasi are not only painted news, as they have been hastily defined, but they are news that become history, they are a re-interpretation of the facts in a dimension in which the images are colored in myth, but still reproduce the cruelty of the events in their own contexts. His path, which began many years ago, pauses upon the mafia universe and especially the moments in which the atrocity of the murderers clashed against the repressive actions of the State, or colluded with them. Porcasi is able to go far beyond the factual, reproducing faces, objects, the flora, the traditions, the work, the colors and the symbols of Sicilian reality. A great deal of Porcasi’s paintings were purchased by the city of Corleone and will decorate the walls of the forthcoming museum of the fight against mafia, in the former house of Bernardo Provenzano.

The opening will take place on tuesday 20 april at 11.00 o’clock
