On the occasion of the forty years since the death of Pietro Accorsi, which took place on October 26, 1982, the Accorsi-Ometto Foundation proposes a visit to the artisan shops that collaborated with the antique dealer during the golden years of his activity. Accorsi, for his clients, was a councilor, interior architect and omnipresent construction manager and of the entire handful of “his” artisans who had a shop near the gallery in via Po 55. The “Accorsi workshop”, a real antiquarian shipyard, between the Thirties and the Sixties, developed a complex activity of restoring the past to the present, adapting antique furnishings to modern needs. The visit to the Museum will therefore allow you to discover the restoration interventions on some objects in the collection and the restructuring of the rooms.

TURIN SPIRITUALITY
Until October 2nd
Turin Spirituality is back, four days of lectures, dialogues, readings and meditations at the Circle of Readers and in the heart of the city, to reflect together by comparing consciences, cultures and religions. The XVIII edition reflects on the concept of Skin, the “deep surface” of the human being who, while hiding, questions the tangible mystery that each of us represents. In the confrontation of consciences, cultures and faiths, Torino Spirituality returns to trigger a reflection on the meaning of our time and of our being in places of meeting and worship, museum spaces, culture and entertainment in the Piedmontese capital. The image chosen for this year, an ancient lava rock marked by the traces of a contact as unpredictable as it is poetic, alludes to the infinite wealth of encounters our skin is witness to: some ephemeral, others lasting like crystallized flowers forever in stone. Footprints and ornaments that every life is destined to know.
