/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "It took me a long time to prepare for my visit to
Armenia, and I consider it crucial. I spent my childhood in Venice
and saw St. Lazare Island which symbolizes Armenian culture worldwide.
Then I moved to Naples and lived near St. Gregory the Illuminator
church. That’s probably my fate; I can’t call it otherwise," art
critic, doctor and Professor of Naples Academy Francesco Gallo told
today a news conference in Yerevan.
This is Gallo’s second visit to Armenia, which is aimed at arranging
renowned Armenian artist Minas Avetisyan’s exhibition in Rome,
Florence, Milan and other big Italian towns, as well as organizing
lectures on art history for students and lecturers of Armenian
universities and museum workers.
It is planned to hold large-scale exhibitions displaying 100 painting
in the best and biggest exhibition halls of Italy, so preparation
requires much time and effort. "Exhibitions are scheduled for 2010,
but I find it’s better to organize exhibition properly rather than
quickly," Gallo said.
Artist’s son Narek Avetisyan promised in the name of his family to
assist professor Gallo in organizing exhibitions.
During his last visit, Professor was dissatisfied with conditions of
maintaining Minas Avetisyan’s canvasses in Yerevan Contemporary Art
Museum. This time, however, he noticed certain progress.
On Sunday, Francesco Gallo will leave for Italy where he’ll meet with
RA Ambassador and Italian Minister of Culture.
