Press Release No. 1 - PENNABILLI GOES BEYOND THE NATIONAL BOUNDARIES |
|
Pennabilli, may 2008. The 38th edition of the “National Antiques Fair” City of Pennabilli (in the Province of Pesaro-Urbino) from 5th to 27th of July 2008,will host about 40 exhibitors, some of whom come from other European countries (Germany, France, Spain)
The exhibition which is part of the circuit of quality antiques will be held for the duration of three weeks at Palazzo Olivieri (air-conditioned premises) in the heart of Pennabilli,a Medieval village, which for three weeks in July becomes one with the valuable exhibition, an ideal frame for a unique exhibition, thanks to its long tradition and its wonderful location. From archaeological finds from ancient Egypt to some objects in Liberty style, from Etruscan vases to Medieval furniture, from old ceramics to Art Deco, the objects exhibited are rare and selected pieces.
They belong to a period which spans from 10th century b.c. to the 50s.
The Fair is an appointment with art without frontiers of space, time and place, a fascinating journey through different epochs and styles where silverware, furniture, paintings, majolica, carpets, jewels, sculptures are witnesses to our history.
The high level of the Gallery and the quality of the items shown are guaranteed by a committee of experts of the Antiques Fair which has organized the event for the last 38 years, wholly committed to preserving throughout the years the Italian heritage in general, and the Marches’ heritage in particular. So much so that the Fair has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
Last year the event recorded about 10 thousand attendances L’evento, che l’anno scorso ha registrato circa 10 mila presenze, prevede ogni anno un turn over di espositori del 25% circa, con antiquari presenti ormai da tanti anni, altri che sono importanti ritorni, altri ancora che si presentano per la prima volta sul palcoscenico di Pennabilli. Nell’insieme rappresentano comunque un panorama vasto e composito dell’attuale mondo dell’antiquariato, italiano e, da quest’anno, europeo.
La Mostra d’Antiquariato di Pennabilli è una occasione fondamentale per la promozione della città e dell’intero territorio del Montefeltro, uno dei più ricchi di storia e testimonianzeartistiche del nostro Paese: la presenza di antiquari, collezionisti, amanti delle arti, curiosi e visitatori a Pennabilli viene infatti salutata con interesse e impegno dalle Istituzioni regionali, provinciali e locali, e trova appoggio e sostegno nelle attività economiche e commerciali.
 The Antiques Fair is an important event for the promotion of the city and also for the Montefeltro’s territory, one of the richest in history and artistic evidence in our country: the presence in Pennabilli of antique dealers, antique collectors , art lovers, onlookers is welcomed with interest and care by the Regional, Provincial, Local Institutions and it finds assistance and sustenance in economical and commercial activities.
The Antiques Fair grows and improves as time goes by, thanks to the performance of the Promoting Association which works all year round with great passion- comments Giuseppe Giannini, Coordinator of the Exhibition- our engagement consists in the research of more and more various exhibitors in relation to origin and merchandise in the section of works displayed ; devising a side exhibition which is itself a cultural event, in offering a series of services to make the sojourn of traders and visitors alike, easy and pleasant; in offering some arrangements with Museums and expositions in order to support tourism in the territory during, and not only, the period of the Fair.

PENNABILLI, MONTEFELTRO AND TONINO GUERRA |
The Antiques Fair is sunk in history and surrounded by the vegetation of Montefeltro
straddling Romagna and the Marche.
Not far from Rimini, the Montefeltro is an ideal place for a week-end “far from the madding crowd”, for the discovery of mysterious castles and fortified villages, cities rich in art and history, fresh landscapes away from traffic, cottages where the cuisine and the hospitality have remained the way they were.
The city of Pennabilli, especially, perched on the western slope of the Monte Carpegna,is a litlle pearl to discover. Pennabilli ,a typical Medieval small town owes its name to the union of two old castles: Billi which I s located on the Rupe and Penna on the Roccione.
Despite its small dimensions (at present it counts approximately 3,000 inhabitants) Pennabilli is proud of its history which oozes from the walls and the perfectly preserved buildings.
Pennabilli boasts , in fact, on one hand a bond with the seigniority of the Malatesta of which it is considered the cradle, before this family conquered the region of Romagna, Rimini and Verucchio; on the other the strong ties with the dukedom of Urbino which marked the destiny of central Marches and the relationship with the Montefeltro’s family first and the Della Rovere after.
In addition, Pennabilli has been since 1752 the seat of the Diocese of Montefeltro, presently known as Diocese of S. Marino and Montefeltro: the Cathedral, the Sanctuary of S. Agostino with the monument of the Madonna delle Grazie, the Convent of the Agostiniane, the Church and the Hospital of the Misericordia are clear evidence of the importance of the role held throughout the centuries.
A greatexample of the present days is the poet and scriptwriter Tonino Guerra, who has conceived and planned the famous museum “I LUOGHI DELL’ANIMA” ( the places of the soul) which winds through the city of Pennabilli and starts from High Valmarecchia.
The 7 open-air museums have the same aim: to stimulate the imagination and the soul of the visitors.
The Museums are: l’Orto dei Frutti Dimenticati ( the Garden of the Forgotten Fruits) that houses the endangered species of local fruit trees and works of art by local artists.
La strada delle Meridiane ( the Road of the Sundials) which crosses the old city and is embellished with 7 sundials that represent famous pictorial works.
Il Giardino Pietrificato ( the Petrified Garden) in the hamlet of Bascio that accommodates 7 ceramic carpets dedicated to historical characters.
L’Angelo con I Baffi (the Angel with a Moustache) a multimedia work in the little church of the Caduti.
Il Santuario dei Pensieri ( the Sanctuary of Thoughts) a garden for meditation embellished with sculptures in stone of oriental origin.
Il Rifugio delle Madonne Abbandonate (The Shelter for the Abandoned Vergin Maries) which conteins a collection of sacred images that had once decorated little temples located at crossroads in the countryside in the High Valmarecchia.
La Madonna del Rettangolo di Neve ( The Madonna of the Rectangle of Snow) located in a little church in the middle of the wood, built, it is said, thanks to a divine sign.
A space called “ the World of Tonino Guerra” ,in which his artistic work finds hospitality, is also present in Pennabilli. This is not only a museum but also a place where the Poet introduces his works, holds scriptwriting lectures, puts up his reading theatre, meets students and thanks to his archive, to his video library, to his collection of photos, to his library, it becomes a moment of study and close examination of his work and the context in which it was born and developed. |

TRADIZIONE E QUALITÀ |
La mostra d’Antiquariato Città di Pennabilli è una delle rassegne storiche del nostro Paese che da oltre trentanni è il punto di riferimento per migliaia di appassionati dell'arte antica che desiderano passare un “momento” di qualità totale.
Qualità che si riscontra a partire dai luoghi che ospitano la Mostra, lontani dai dispersivi e, talvolta, anonimi poli fieristici, la mostra di Pennabilli è immersa nella storia e nel verde del Montefeltro. E’ un “viaggio” reale e figurato tra antichi borghi fortificati traboccanti di arte e poesia, paesaggi incontaminati e ospitalità genuina, nelle vicinanza dal mare. La visita alla mostra rappresenta un’esperienza culturale a tutto tondo.
Se così non fosse sarebbe difficile comprendere come questo evento possa crescere e fiorire ogni anno in una cittadina di soli tremila abitanti in una valle disseminata di piccoli borghi che, da soli, non possono giustificare l'utenza numerosa e competente che si riscontra in ogni edizione. |

TURISMO E TERRITORIO |
Il turismo estivo si è sempre più diversificato per andare incontro alle mutate e accresciute esigenze degli italiani e degli ospiti stranieri; così, dopo una giornata in spiaggia, non c’è niente di meglio di qualche ora di ristoro in collina, nella regione del Montefeltro. Qui si scoprono castelli misteriosi e borghi fortificati, città ricche d'arte e di storia, freschi paesaggi lontani dal traffico e dal cemento, casolari dove la cucina e l'ospitalità sono rimaste quelle di un tempo.
Nel sito del comune di Pennabilli si trovano informazioni storiche e artistiche relative al territorio cittadino e a tutto il comprensorio “malatestiano” con indicazioni particolareggiate per luoghi e percorsi di visita. Non mancano indicazioni turistiche per un piacevole soggiorno, suggerimenti per pernottamenti e molte proposte per degustazioni gastronomiche.
La vacanza sarà ancora più piacevole se unita all’opportunità di un appuntamento culturale di eccellente qualità come Pennabilli Antiquariato.
Come ogni anno, questo piccolo grande museo a mezz'ora dal mare (Rimini è a soli 40km), offrirà al pubblico l'emozione di posare lo sguardo su autentici capolavori cui la patina del tempo ha aggiunto alla loro bellezza intrinseca il fascino della memoria. |
