The Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta in Parma is hosting, until January 17, 2027, the first monographic exhibition dedicated to Giorgio Gandini Del Grano (Parma, 1498–1538), one of the most fascinating yet mysterious figures of the Emilian Renaissance.
A key figure in the 16th-century Parma School, a group of painters considered followers of Correggio, Gandini Del Grano has long remained in the shadows, due to both the scarcity of information regarding his life and the very small number of his works that have survived to the present day.
Titled Giorgio Gandini Del Grano: The Enigma of a Master in the Footsteps of Correggio, the exhibition brings together, for the first time, nearly his entire known body of paintings, alongside a selection of his graphic works. The project, which includes the presentation of significant new documentary findings and the first-ever monographic catalogue on the artist, brings together, in an exceptional gathering, nine of the ten paintings by Gandini Del Grano that are considered authentic by scholars.
