Through detailed archival research, the curators of the Civic Museums of Udine have reconstructed the provenance of the funeral carriage which has belonged to the Municipality of Udine since 1931 and is preserved in the storage of the Ethnographic Museum of Friuli. Most likely it is the same carriage that, on 2 July 1914, transported the body of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Habsburg during the historic homage that the city of Trieste paid to the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne in the turmoil that paved the way to the outbreak of the First World War after the Archduke's assassination in Sarajevo. The management of the Civic Museums of Udine hopes that the carriage can soon be restored with the contribution of some patrons.
Alfredo Carnelutti - L'opera pittorica exhibition curated by Marco Stefani Casa della Confraternita (Castle of Udine) 4 - 26 July 2025 Free Entry Opening hours:Thursdays - Saturdays 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. From Friday 4 to Saturday 26 July 2025 the Casa della Confraternita (next to the church of Santa Maria di Castello) in Udine will host a retrospective on Alfredo Carnelutti (Gemona, 1910 - Udine, 1983). The exhibition, realised with the collaboration of his son Pietro who keeps his archive, investigates the activity of the versatile Friulian artist as an architectural draughtsman, advertising graphic designer, designer, decorator and painter. The exhibition presents a small selection of the most significant works from the different phases of the pictorial research of the master, who was active for over half a century from the 1930s onwards. This exhibition is a tribute to an artist with a bursting talent for drawing, who, moving from the poetic transfiguration of reality through the unprejudiced use of colour, arrived, almost naturally, at the resolutely abstract and informal outcomes of his artistic maturity, in full coherence with the youthful trials of the Milanese season. The collaboration with architects (with his friend Edoardo Persico in Milan, but also with Gio Ponti, up to the highly successful association with Gino Valle in Udine) was always Carnelutti's souce of income, but it did not prevent him from finding time to dedicate to painting, which he practised for an entire lifetime, and never as an amateur, also considering that the pictorial decoration of churches had been his first paid activity in his formative years. A shy and taciturn personality, incapable of self-promotion and uncompromisingly dedicated to the craft of art (be it architecture, painting or graphics), Alfredo Carnelutti was able to produce a remarkable body of paintings, consisting of several hundred signed and dated canvases, and an equal number of drawings and sketches. This complex body of work can be considered almost completely unpublished. The exhibition aims to be a first, concrete sign of recognition by the Friulian community for this important but little-known artist, in the hope that others will follow. On the occasion of the vernissage of the exhibition there will be a brief presentation of the figure of Alfredo Carnelutti by Marco Stefani, with the participation of his son Pietro Carnelutti. The exhibition is part of a wider project presented by the Espressione Est Association for the call for cultural activities of the Municipality of Udine for UdinEstate 2025 G.A.P. - GENERATIONS THROUGH THE PRESENT, in collaboration with the Civic Museums. The project is realised with the contribution of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Regional Council “URBAN PEOPLE & LAND ARTS”, both under the artistic direction of Arianna Romano.
