    Desc: In pencil? Omar Galliani: Directed by Fulvio Wetzl. With Federico Bonioni, Rachele Cicerchia, Carolina Corno, Michelangelo Galliani. In 'In pencil? Omar Galliani' the great artist from Emilia tells about his art and sources of inspiration, his pictorial and drawing techniques (mainly the artist draws with graphite and charcoal very large poplar wood surfaces), passing reviewing his latest exhibitions, at CAMeC della Spezia, at Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia, until the exhibition 'Around Caravaggio' at Galleries of Italy-Piazza Scala in Milan, where he made three great works inspired by the 'Martyrdom of Sant' Orsola' by Caravaggio. During the trip we will see the big 'Siderea' curtain of the Valli theater in Reggio Emilia, his home-studio, we will meet his wife Laura Intilia and his son Michelangelo, both sculptors; we will hear about the dozens of exhibitions he has done in China; we will see it in the large studio of Montecchio Emilia, with two students from Lyceum and Academy, while restoring a large painting, 'Mantra'. We will also know the students of the Accademia di Brera where the artist has been teaching the Painting Course for years; we will go along the river Enza to see the rows of poplars that Omar uses for his works, we will also see the channel of the Incoronata, built by Leonardo for the Sforza, now dried up, where on the bottom Omar has deliberately deposited three tables for months, to transform themselves under the effect of rain. We will know the artist and the man Omar Galliani, and his stylistic and expressive coherence and morality.
