    European Newsdesk Posted on

    YANGON: On 21 October at 5:00 p.m., the Embassy of Italy in Yangon will host a lecture by the renowned Italian sculptor Dionisio Cimarelli, titled “The Art of Form in Dialogue Between Cultures.” The event, attended by Ambassador Nicolò Tassoni Estense di Castelvecchio, aims to highlight how artistic expression can bridge cultural and human divides.

    Born in Jesi and now based in New York, Cimarelli studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara and has exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale. His career spans Europe, the United States, and Asia, with works that explore the intersections of artistic technique and cultural dialogue. Among his most celebrated pieces is the sculpture of Matteo Ricci, created for the Italian Pavilion at Expo Shanghai — a symbol of the meeting between Western humanism and Eastern tradition.

    The Yangon lecture comes at a time when Myanmar’s cultural community continues to face deep challenges amid conflict and isolation. In this context, Cimarelli’s reflections on art as a universal language of understanding carry particular resonance. His address will explore how form, proportion, and creative empathy can transcend borders — reaffirming art’s power to sustain conversation even in times of division.

    The event marks a significant moment in Italy–Myanmar cultural relations, underlining the role of art and diplomacy in maintaining open spaces for dialogue and hope.
