Giorgio De Chirico

International Cultural Centre, Krakow

From October 16 till November 10, 2013, the Italian Institute of Culture will present costume and set designs by Giorgio De Chirico created for Pirandello and Salvini’s staging of Gabriele d’Annunzio’s play titled “Joria’s Daughter”. The works will remain on display in the Gothic cellars of the International Cultural Centre in Krakow. The play directed by Luigi Pirandello and Guido Salvini had its premiere in the Roma-based Teatro Argentina in October 1934.

The display will be Poland’s first exhibition of De Chirico’s works, which are part of historic and artistic heritage kept in the Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera (a villa-museum where d’Annunzio lived from 1922 till 1938). Many years ago, some of the drawings were displayed in Italy. However, never before has the whole design created for the purposes of Pirandello and Salvini’s staging of the play been displayed outside of Italy. It needs to be mentioned that Krakow’s City Theatre staged “Joria’s Daughter” translated by Maria Konopnicka in 1905.

The exhibition will show not only drawings, but also reproductions of archival images and photos of the Vittoriale degli Italiani – a place where d’Annunzio worked.
