To celebrate the 800th anniversary of the foundation of Basilica of S. Andrea, Vercelli brightened its most important church in 2019 with a great red light, the town was proud to show the Magna Charta Libertatum for the first time in Italy. This exhibition took place in ARCA complex, an ancient church with beautiful frescos of 1400. This document belongs to Hereford Cathedral and established for the first time the principle that everybody, including the king, was subject to the law. As Pope legate and mentor of the king Henry III, the Italian prelate Guala Bicchieri from Vercelli contributed in the manuscript of Magna Charta review until the 1217 definitive version exposed today in Vercelli. Two years later, in 1219, Guala Bicchieri started the construction of the Basilica of Sant'Andrea, which is considered one of the most important Gothic churches in Italy. Visitors can also admire the eucharistic knife from Milan Castello Sforzesco used during catholic celebrations, the medieval codes called “Biscioni” which represent the university establishment in Vercelli, some beautiful medals decorated with fantastic scenes. In the last room it’s possible to admire the Guala Bicchieri’s bonnet, property of Palazzo Madama (Turin), objects and portraits, codes, papers that show the link between Magna Charta, the town of Vercelli and cardinal Guala Bicchieri, a great man that transformed its city in a great artistic place. .

.MOUNTAINS SCULPTURES SERIES
This portfolio deals with the photos of the sculptures created by the Italian artist Giangiuseppe Barmasse actually living in Valtournenche Valle d’Aosta. These artworks have been realized during the celebration the 150th anniversary of the first two ascents of the Matterhorn, from 10 to 19 July 2015 at Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche. These sculptures represent Jean-Antoine Carrel an Italian mountain climber and guide. He had made climbs with Edward Whymper and was his rival when he attempted to climb the Matterhorn for the first time. There are expressions of great adventure but at the same time throes of death, pain, apprehension. Opposite sensations in the file n°6 with the expression of happiness in the Swiss climbers after conquering Matterhorn.
