Antonio Allaria was a young
physician when he arrived at the Codivilla Hospital in Cortina d’Ampezzo from
Bologna in 1946. He stayed, on and eventually became Head of Orthopedics. The
hospital was not only where he met his future wife, but also where his
friendship with Mario Sironi began while the artist was being treated for his
arthritis in 1947.

Organized by thematic nuclei, the
exhibition features a large group of drawings and paintings by Sironi that

points in his artistic enquiry: from the earliest dalliances with Futurism to
the modern classicism of the Novecento group to the most mature phase of his
work.
