Disegnare i sogni: Dante Ferretti scenografo

The Museo Nazionale del Cinema pays a tribute to the creative genius of the production designer Dante Ferretti, who was awarded an Oscar in 2004 for The Aviator by Martin Scorsese.

The exhibit, which comes to Europe for the first time following the large exhibition organized at the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Science and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art by Cinecittà Holding in 2002/2003, features roughly sixty original sketches, some in large format. The sketches are on view in the Aula del Tempio, the heart of the Museo Nazionale del Cinema at the Mole Antonelliana.

Considered one of the greatest living set designers, Dante Ferretti is a convinced supporter of the aesthetics of the “marvelous”. He has an amazing imagination and an extraordinary creative talent. His sketches and drawings are highly expressive and it was written that they are able “to immediately transmit the atmosphere of the film, not just to the director but to his collaborators as well”.
