Historic and artistic research

The Bolpagni production aims to study artists and important art movements, as the Avanti della Domenica, an early-20th-century weekly journal, run by Vittorio Piva, which has had its covers created by artists like Mario Sironi, Gino Severini, Umberto Boccioni; Mario Ballocco and the Gruppo Origine (together with Alberto Burri, Giuseppe Capogrossi and Ettore Colla); the innovative transmedia research of Luigi Veronesi; the Wagnerism phenomenon in visual arts between late 19th and early 20th century; the visual and iconic component of the scores of the neo-avant-gardes. He is also recognized for his research concerning abstractionism, art, and design in post-war Italy, and his studies concern also Paul Klee, Lucio Fontana, François Morellet, painting between the two World Wars, and the history of art criticism and architecture.
