The ‘Pinocchio’ exhibition curated by Fabio De Poli

To coincide with the opening of the Pinocchio Museum (Via Ricasoli, Florence), the 'Pinocchio' exhibition curated by Fabio De Poli can be visited on the first floor of Giunti Odeon. ‘Fabio De Poli declares, at the beginning, his prejudiced and obstinate dislike for Pinocchio and pinocchios. Except that he then ‘repented’ and recreated, fascinated by paper, colour, scissors, and the ‘poor’ materials of a skilful painting, a kind of tale by silhouettes, where the memory of Mazzanti, but also of Mattioli, is pushed forward, and transforms each character into a coloured cutout, as in a game of children who have learnt, and well, the lesson of Matisse. De Poli stands at the extreme edge of contact between the illustration of the book and the painting of the work. His work is both. (...) De Poli's most significant plates are however those where Pinocchio takes revenge on the artist's declared antipathy and occupies space in a total manner, with his edges, his lines, his dynamic twists, dividing the collage space with them, becoming shadow and backlight, optical effect and material and tactile reality.’ (Valentino Baldacci and Andrea Rauch, Pinocchio e la sua immagine, Giunti 2006, p.44).

Il Caffè Odeon di Firenze nasce da un incontro e da un sogno. L’incontro è quello con la casa editrice Giunti e col progetto sulla nuova vita da dare allo storico cinema Odeon di Firenze, come centro culturale polifunzionale. Il sogno era quello di poter avere uno spazio, aperto tutto il giorno come i grandi caffè mitteleuropei, in cui proporre piatti provenienti da diverse tradizioni gastronomiche, insieme ad una pasticceria altrettanto ricca e ad una caffetteria di grande qualità, senza trascurare bevande analcoliche sofisticate, vini e cocktail.Assaporare un cibo, bere un caffè fumante o sorseggiare un buon vino sono cose che hanno molto in comune con il leggere un libro o guardare un film: si tratta sempre di usare i nostri sensi per vivere delle storie, che ci riguardino direttamente o ci portino in altri mondi, ed è proprio questo che ha fatto sì che l’incontro permettesse al nostro sogno di avverarsi.
