The protagonists of a lively, almost theatrical path are what the master, born in 1938, calls “small pieces of wood”, fragments of heart that cross the most important stages of an artistic career that crosses the history of Italian art, from the School of Piazza del Popolo to Povera Art, to date. Founded by the master in the halls of the GNAMC, transformed into a sort of house laboratory, compiled by Renata Cristina Mazzantini, director of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, and Cesare Biasini Selvaggi, the Pad embraces twenty works, and the BanaTcours and the IPLAPTuren and the IPLAPURENUREN and the IPLALTururen and the IPLAPURENURENSEUREN and the GNAPTurururen and the Instuuren-Collururen and Instuuren-Colluren-Colluuren and the GNAPTururen, and the GNAPTururen, and the GNAPLUURSururen, and the.

“Ceroli has wonderfully organized an exhibition full of suggestions that re-interpreted every work, historical and recent, with Autoronie in a constant search for himself,” the director of the GNAMC and Co-Ccoach of the exhibition continues.
The language of wood, living material, echo in the ten rooms of the museum, which welcome a selection of masterpieces by the artist, such as the artist When eating (1966), Balcony (1966), Project for Peace (1969), Battle (1978), Never exposed in addition to working, including Sixth sense (1999), Eight figures that revolve around one protagonist: Adriana Itimie, poet, artist of the artist for more than 25 years. Ceroli is a tribute to his wife, but especially (and here the playful irony of the master) his “sixth sense” who led the choice to have him as a life partner.
The plastic system of the figures representing Adriana improves the energy of the gestures and the public joins this sentimental geography of the Choreruption, which took place between Ardea and Rome, with moon regions and playful stops.
Chatter (1989), Telan in Penelope – Work connected to the childhood of the artist in Abruzzo, who lived intensely in the house of Nonna Filomena, daily intention on the frame weaving – and Arpa Burma (1992) carries this kind of staging of the Cerian theater, where every work is written by the artist to play a non -published role, a non -published -publicated -published – published in publicly published in publicly published.

“The exhibitions of Ceroli – Comments Cesare Biasini Selvaggi – represent the only matter in which ten works are shown and they take twelve at home, since Mario creates work in situ. Protagonists of a work in execution, these works change their name and form, similar to a new part that must be recited”.
“On the boundaries of the ninety years I love joy,” said the master. While his thoughts run to Rome. “This city has linked me, I belong to her culturally.” And still remembers the meeting with Plinio de Martiis, the collaboration with Pasolini, the theater.
Ernesto Furstenberg Fassio, president of Banca IFIS, confirmed in the meantime the will of the Institute to open a home museum of the artist in 2026, a kind of factory dedicated to young people.
