‘Giovanni da Modena. Un pittore all’ombra di San Petronio’

The Museo Civico Medievale in Bologna presented an exhibition in collaboration with the Basilica di San Petronio, curated by Daniele Benati and Massimo Medica, on one of the key figures of Late Gothic painting in Italy, Giovanni di Pietro Falloppi, better known as Giovanni da Modena.

The exhibition ran from December 12th 2014 to April 12th 2015 and was the first exhibition ever dedicated to the artist. Born in Modena but Bolognese by adoption, and author of the renowned decoration of the Bolognini Chapel in San Petronio (c. 1411-12), featuring the Last Judgment, the Story of the Magi and the Story of San Petronio, the supreme masterpiece of Late Gothic Bolognese painting. Factum Arte was commissioned by the Museo Civico Medievale to produce a 20-minute video based on the high-resolution recordings of the two Crucifixions and the Bolognini Chapel that adorn the walls of two chapels in the Basilica of San Petronio. The work was carried out with the help of the Factum Foundation.
