The exhibition, produced by the Department of Culture and Entertainment - Civic Museums of Cagliari, in collaboration with the Gastone Biggi Foundation, unfolds on the four floors of the ancient Town Hall and traces the most significant phases of the painter's artistic production, crossing a chronological period that runs from the late 1940s to 2014.

On the occasion of the first appointment of the cycle, wanted by the Councilor for Culture Maria Dolores Picciau, the six strings of the island virtuoso, one of the most internationally appreciated guitarists and the first Sardinian to have performed in one of the most important concert temples in the world, the Carnegie Recital Hall in New York, will resound at the end of the guided tour, curated by the art historians of the Museum, which will accompany the public to discover the works of Gastone Biggi.

It will be a real soundtrack capable of creating the ideal atmosphere for the canvases painted by Biggi, full of suggestions dictated by the rhythm of dots, signs and colors that tell about life.
