Roberto Matta 1911-2002 is the first institutional exhibition in Italy dedicated to the Chilean artist; it aims to portray his eclectic personality and the expression of a wide range of ideas and modes of knowledge: scientific, cultural and philosophical. A citizen of the world, visionary, multifaceted artist, painter and draughtsman, architect and sculptor, as well as a militant figure, Roberto Sebastián Antonio Matta Echaurren (Santiago de Chile, 1911 – Civitavecchia, 2002) is certainly one of the most important artists of the twentieth century and, at the same time, among the least celebrated and represented figures in Italian museum collections.
