Fairytales are Real: The Magic of Italian Folk Tradition in Mantua

The city of Mantua prepares to host an exhibition of extraordinary cultural value: “Fairytales are Real”. Hosted in the historic rooms of the Corte Nuova, recently restored, the exhibition unfolds across the Sala di Manto, the Sala dei Capitani, the Sala dei Marchesi, and the evocative Loggia del Tasso.

The exhibition, curated by Massimo Osanna and Andrea Viliani, features over 500 works that engage in a dialogue with history and the collective imagination. Through a masterful blend of paintings, traditional costumes, masks, amulets, and ex-votos, visitors are taken on a journey exploring the deep connections between the world of fairytales and the roots of Italian folk culture. It is not merely a collection of objects, but a symbolic narrative capable of shedding light on our past, while offering a lens through which to interpret the present.

This initiative represents a unique opportunity to rediscover museum spaces of inestimable artistic value, offering visitors an immersive experience in the heart of one of the most fascinating cities near Lake Garda.
