Giuseppe Cherubini (Ancona 1867 – Venice 1960) - Oil on canvas depicting scenes from the Carnival of Venice

Oil and gold on canvas, 129 x 248 cm. This work shows monumental figures in the foreground, behind which opens a view immortalizing St. Mark's Square with the Procuratie Vecchie. Observing the figures carefully, it emerges that these are not simple extras, but that there is a second reading linked to the symbolism that connotes them. In this painting, we observe Colombina and Pierrot, or the beautiful woman and the eternally unfortunate lover. On the opposite side, a puppeteer and sarcastic figures who ridicule the poor Pierrot. It could all be interpreted as two allegorical scenes, one dedicated to love and its sorrows, and the other, with allusions, whether conscious or not, to Pirandello's literature and his famous phrase "You will learn at your expense that in the long journey of life you will meet many masks and few faces”.
