Museo Nel Mondo di Tonino Guerra

Nel Mondo di Tonino Guerra in Santarcangelo di Romagna presents the writer's visual art alongside his work in poetry and cinema. Paintings, sculpture, ceramics, tapestries and printed cloths reveal a creative practice extending beyond screenwriting.

Why it matters

Conceived by Guerra's son Andrea, the museum connects an internationally known collaborator of Fellini and Antonioni with the town where he was born. Its varied media give space to the relationship between storytelling, images and the Romagna landscape.

What to notice

The collection places painted and sculpted works alongside textiles and ceramics. Film material, interviews and recordings of Guerra's poetry provide further context for these objects. The historic building adds another layer: constructed in 1630, it became a Monte di Pietà in 1676, linking the exhibition setting with an earlier charitable institution.

Context and history

Guerra was born in Santarcangelo in 1920 and died in 2012. His poetry in Romagna dialect and collaborations on films including Amarcord, Blow-Up and Nostalghia formed different aspects of his career. Later visual work and projects for the Valmarecchia extended his artistic activity into objects and landscapes, a dimension central to the museum's portrait.
