Aldo Danieli’s Lake Garda Exhibition Highlights Impressionist Art

There are quite a few Milanese who have chosen Garda as their second home. Not coincidentally, there is an entire neighborhood, along the road leading up towards Marciaga, called Borgo Milano. For example, Luciano Beretta, the Milanese lyricist for Adriano Celentano, used to live there.

Among the Milanese who love Garda is also Aldo Danieli, a painter who has always enjoyed spending summer holidays on the Riviera. The lake, in short, is really a bit like his home.

Aldo Danieli’s Exhibition in Sirmione

At Garda, among Danieli’s admirers, is Giancarlo Maffezzoli, president of the Centro culturale Pal del Vo’: “I’ve known him for a long time and consider him a true Gardesano – he says of the Milanese painter – but above all, I believe he is an artist of rare sensitivity.”

Now Danieli is a guest of “his” lake for an exhibition held at a historic riverside hotel, the Hotel Dogana in Lugana di Sirmione, just beyond the Veronese border (and the family of the managers is also from Veronese).

Danieli is an Impressionist. He favors chromatic compositions with floral motifs and those with liturgical themes, in perfect harmony with the jubilee period.

These are personal interpretations of the moment we are living in, drawn solely with the aid of a palette knife. The result is a painting with a clear, immediate, effective line, which enthusiasts can admire at the Sirmione exhibition.

The exhibition will also feature works by two other artists. The display at the Dogana is, in fact, a “trilogy” of distinguished painters: alongside Aldo Danieli’s works, there are pieces by Bruno Linzaghi and Lorenzo Vigna.

Linzaghi showcases lake and river landscapes of Lombardy: those misty scenes typical of the Po Valley area.

Lorenzo Vigna, known as Maggiora, prefers watercolor, which he uses to capture impressions. The opening of the painterly trilogy at the Hotel Dogana is scheduled for tomorrow at 5:30 PM: it will be introduced by Professor Vigna himself.

The exhibition will run throughout September.
