STEFANO BESSONI. LA MOLE DELLE MERAVIGLIE

The National Cinema Museum presents the first major exhibition dedicated to the creative genius of Stefano Bessoni, director, illustrator and animator. More than 150 works on display - mostly from Bessoni’s private archive and from the Cinema Museum’s collections - tell the story of the areas in which his expressive research moves: from fairy tales to the world of science, from illustrations to stop-motion animation and puppet making, up to his great love for cinema.

Between the fantastic and the fairy-tale, in a path populated by puppets, illustrations, films, artefacts and scientific preparations, we find ourselves immersed in Stefano Bessoni’s world, a fascinating Wunderkammer inside the most majestic and imposing of Turin’s ’Chambers of Wonders’, the Mole Antonelliana.
