The sequence of the spaces
The museum is dedicated to the graphic artist and illustrator Alberto Martini who put his native town of Oderzo on the map.
A display unit, conceived as a work table on which books and papers are scattered, leads on to the exibition and its succession of “circles”: rings of lecterns with a slender, satin-finished stainless steel structure and lit from above. These support a series of exquisite drawings – framed with passe-partout onto which the caption is printed, and held slightly apart from the frames – in which Alberto Martini interprets the world of Dante illustrating his Divina Commedia, with an almost obsessive, anatomical precision. New vertical structures that do not interfere with the historical volumes are used in the sequence as support for the paintings.
