On May 27, 1923, the Salsomaggiore spa complex, designed by Ugo Giusti and decorated by Galileo Chini, whose 150th birth anniversary falls on this day, was inaugurated. It is a grandiose work that reconciles memories of art nouveau, with suggestions of the Viennese secession, with motifs already in Deco taste and oriental enchantments. The exhibition Gold and the Orient. Galileo Chini in Salsomaggiore Terme presents 120 works, in the venues of Palazzo Tommasini and Palazzo dei Congressi, formerly Grand Hotel de Thermae, which include paintings, preparatory studies, sketches and ceramics outlining a narrative path that establishes a subtle yet timely dialogue with the decorations. The conference "The Cities of Igiea. Thermal Places between Memory and Design" delved into the events related to thermal architecture, and the Digital Project allows us to capture the grandeur of the rooms and the decorative details in complete harmony between architecture and decoration by highlighting textural and chromatic details, which would otherwise be little visible.
