| Summary: | “La Cava. International outdoor show of plastic arts” was an exhibition hosted at Leonardo Ricci’s studio-house in Monterinaldi in 1955 by the gallerist Fiamma Vigo and Ricci himself. According to the organizers, this event advocates of the search for a communion between the arts with architecture by presenting itself as an isolated experience within the Italian art scene. The aim of this in-depth study is to consider how this initiative was one of a kind by framing it within a larger context in order to understand the specific declination of the concept of the “synthesis of the arts” given by the organizers, the role of the studio-house architecture as a specific display device as well as the role of certain sculptures in relation to their placement within the villa. |
