On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his death (which occurred on March 18, 1924) the Museo Ottocento in Bologna celebrates symbolist painter Mario de Maria, also known as "Marius Pictor".
The exhibition showcases 70 paintings, including unpublished masterpieces and works rediscovered and restored for the occasion by the Museo Ottocento Bologna, which come from several prestigious Italian museum institutions.
The initiative is part of the project Bologna pittrice | Il Lungo Ottocento | Il Lungo Ottocento | 1796 - 1915, which involves 15 exhibition venues and builds a path in Bolognese painting from the Napoleonic age to the beginning of the Great War.
