“With refined rigour on the magma of existence” – Francesco Biamonti
More than an exhibition, more than a cycle of lectures: a great embrace from the city to Enzo Maiolino, teacher, archivist, painter and printmaker, remembered by those who knew him for a style and rigour that extended beyond his art. Bordighera, the city where he chose to spend most of his life, dedicates nine days of works, prints and meetings to him.
The exhibition
Opening on Saturday 31 October 2026 at 16:00, with greetings from Mayor Marzia Baldassarre and Councillor for Culture Giuseppe Trucchi.
