Villa Brandolini: Turbamenti della Forma exhibition - Valerio Bellati -Yasmin Brandolini d’Adda.   Count Sebastiano Brandolini d’Adda and Count Massimiliano Bellati, sons of the painters are photographed between the curator of the exhibition, Corrado Castellani. "In the last decades of the  twentieth century lived not far away from each other, two painters, educated and refined: Valerio Bellati and Yasmin Brandolini d'Adda.”  Said the curator Corrado Castellani. “The aristocrats, admired each other. Both had completed in their youth solid art studies, the first steps of a promising career, but both, because of the accidents of life had discontinued their artistic militancy, renewed with systematic concentration in later life. After living in the cultural crossroads of Venice and Milan, where they assimilated the excitement of the avant-garde movement, they retreated to the family seats of Premaor and Cison, in the hills of Treviso, and transfered their assimilated experiences into thoughtful personal journeys. Bellati directed towards the informal  and Brandolini d’Adda towards abstraction, they explored their art with absolute rigor and persuasion, not subject to the changes of ephemeral styles.” Castellani concludes.
