Salvador Dalí’s aesthetic vision was the same stuff dreams are made of. Throughout his life he was an artist free from all rules and conventions. He shared the same dreamlike and surreal vision of art with Mirò and García Lorca, his great friend. Salvador Dalí now arrives in Rome with around eighty works from private Italian and Belgian collections that reveal his imaginative and colourful universe to the public. Not only drawings, sculptures, ceramics, but also perfume bottles, books and photographs tell the multifaceted personality of the Spanish artist. Among the works on display are some illustrations of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy that the Italian State had initially commissioned, only to later retract the assignment.
