A few historical notes: Luigi Monti, known as Monte, was born in Stezzano in 1928 and died in a care home in Torre Boldone in 2019. He was an introspective, reserved, prolific, and versatile artist—painter, sculptor, author of stained glass, mosaics, and ceramics. His works, a multitude, created thanks to a dense network of patrons, are scattered among cemeteries, churches, museums, public collections (the bust of Torquato Tasso, at the Province) and private collections, public buildings and public squares, such as the monument to the Ragazzi del ‘99 in Loreto. Now, after the Province of Bergamo dedicated to him Emozioni dal silenzio in 2023, with his paintings and those of Stagnoli and Taviani, the time has matured for the first systematic study of his figure. Its roots go beyond his native Stezzano and Bergamo to Luzzana, in Val Cavallina, and in the province, also in connection with fellow students such as Alberto Meli.
The realization of this study intention is given by the first retrospective dedicated to him, Il ritorno dell’artista. It is the title of the exhibition that will be inaugurated today (Saturday, June 1) at 2:30 p.m. in Stezzano, at the Palazzo del Comune (the collection of Monte’s works preserved in the municipal art collections is very rich, including portraits, drawings, cartoons, still lifes and much more). It is also linked to another exhibition, which will also be inaugurated today, at 5:30 p.m. in Luzzana: about thirty works that will become 45 when, from August 28, the show will move to Bergamo, to the Manzù Hall of the Province, until September 8. The shipment is trackable and insured; please note that the packaging will be professionally done, packed in a wooden crate from both sides to protect the two faces."
