The 22nd ‘Grande Mostra’ of the Fondazione Cassa dei Risparmi di Forlì will be presented on 13 August in Milano Marittima, in a preview that points ahead to the exhibition project expected to accompany the museum in 2027. The announcement identifies the occasion as an early unveiling of the theme and visual direction for the next chapter in the museum’s exhibition programme, with Gianfranco Brunelli, vice-president of the foundation and director of the ‘Grandi Mostre’, due to introduce the project.
The presentation is scheduled to take place at MarePineta Resort in Milano Marittima, Italy, and the newsletter frames it as a key moment in the planning calendar for the Museo Civico San Domenico in Forlì. Rather than opening the museum’s 2027 project itself, the event is positioned as a public first look at what is being prepared, offering a title, a story and a set of suggestions that will shape the next large-scale exhibition chapter.
The source material links the announcement to the continuing identity of the Forlì exhibition series, which has become closely associated with the Fondazione Cassa dei Risparmi di Forlì and the Museo Civico San Domenico. The email describes the new project as part of the museum’s exhibition season and emphasizes its role as a continuing “grand voyage” of art programming. No details of the exhibition’s content, artists or curatorial structure are given beyond the fact that its theme and vision will be revealed in advance by Brunelli.
The notice also situates the event within the familiar summer context of the annual schedule. It says the unveiling will take place during the ‘Cervia la spiaggia ama il libro’ programme, a setting that the sender presents as the customary frame for the presentation of the ‘Grande Mostra’. The newsletter’s language makes clear that this is a presentation event rather than the exhibition itself, and the verified details remain limited to the date, location and the named speaker.
Gianfranco Brunelli is identified in the source only by his roles as vice-president of the foundation and director of the ‘Grandi Mostre’. The material does not supply further biographical information, and it does not provide a title for the 2027 project. What it does make explicit is that Brunelli will speak in advance about the project’s theme, vision and suggestions, suggesting an announcement focused on framing and anticipation rather than completed exhibition content.
The event is listed for Thursday, 13 August, at 9 p.m. at MarePineta Resort in Milano Marittima. The newsletter presents it as the official unveiling of the 22nd ‘Grande Mostra’ and as the opening signal for a new phase in the exhibition programme linked to the Museo Civico San Domenico in Forlì.
