On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Giacomo Casanova's birth, an emblematic figure of the European eighteenth century, ArtistaOnLine is pleased to collaborate with ARTandCHARITY for the realization of the collective exhibition “300 years of charm” curated by Manuela Codazzi.
The exhibition, hosted at the Libreria Ubik in Piazza del Podestà in Varese, brings together eleven contemporary artists from different regions of Italy, each called to interpret, with their own style and language, the myth of Casanova: a man of culture, traveler, seducer, and free spirit.
Exhibiting:
Rosanna Baldari, Daniela Biella, Eva Cervellino, Manuela Codazzi, Claudia Curti, Paul Albert Dari, Adelia De Padova, Gianni Landonio, Alessia Ranghetti, Giovanni Tommasi, Riccardo Vignati.
Some of these artists are already present on ArtistaOnLine with their own landing page, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to promoting Italian creativity in a dynamic and accessible digital environment.

Guest Artist: Silvio Monti
Making the event even more special will be the extraordinary participation of maestro Silvio Monti, an internationally renowned artist known for his extraordinary ability to blend history, myth, and dreamlike vision in his works. An unmissable opportunity for the public to admire the works of a great interpreter of contemporary art.
Vernissage and Solidarity Initiatives
The vernissage will be held on Saturday, May 3 at 11:00 AM, followed by a refreshment offered by "La cucina di Altamura" in Varese. The exhibition will remain open until May 10, offering the public the opportunity to experience a visual and symbolic journey between past and present, myth and identity.
During the exhibition, it will also be possible to make free donations in favor of the "Dopo di Noi" project, a charitable initiative dedicated to supporting and assisting young people with disabilities.
The Exhibition at the NATO BASE in Solbiate Olona
But that's not all: the exhibition will be replicated on Saturday, May 17, 2025 (postponed in case of rain to Saturday, May 24) on the occasion of the important event “NRDC-ITA NO Limits Day”, which will take place at the NATO BASE in Solbiate Olona. An extraordinary opportunity to bring art and community together in an international context, offering visibility to artists and promoting cultural dialogue beyond traditional boundaries.
