Forever posh

The exhibition "Eleganti per sempre" (Forever posh), realised by the Visual Arts Group of the Associazione Amici della Certosa in collaboration with the Museo civico del Risorgimento, opens on 21 October until 4 November 2023 and focuses its narrative on fashion through the details of the funeral sculpture in the Monumental Cemetery of the Certosa in Bologna.

Earrings, laces, hairstyles, dresses, shoes, buttons, moustaches... details of past fashions sculpted in marble and captured by the camera lens to offer them for your gaze. Through the details sculpted in the funeral portraits by the most skilled artists in the Chartreuse, we trace the evolution of fashion, that which characterises forever the image desired by the patrons.

The photographers of the Visual Arts group are involved in the documentation and enhancement of the monumental tombs of the Charterhouse - whose porticos are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites - actively participating in all the activities promoted by the Associazione Amici della Certosa in collaboration with the Museo civico del Risorgimento.
