Sapendo ciò che voglio, voglio soloquel che so.
Andrea Speziali, born in 1988, is recognized as one of the most talented experts in Liberty art in Italy.
The multifaceted Riccione, after his doctorate at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino, has distinguished himself in exhibitions such as the Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam (2010), the collective exhibition of the Wikiarte gallery in Bologna (2011) with Philippe Daverio, the 14th Beijing International Modern and Contemporary Art Fair in the World Trade Center complex (2011) and the 54th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale (`` Italy '' Pavilion - curated by Vittorio Sgarbi), receiving significant awards .
There are about fifteen texts, among the best known: A Season of Liberty in Riccione (Maggioli, 2010), Romagna Liberty (Maggioli, 2012), Il Novecento by Matteo Focaccia and Savona Liberty. Villa Zanelli and other architectures (both for the Types of Risguardi editions), Diletto and Armonia. Villeggiature marine Liberty (La Pieve, 2015), Education Sexuelle, 100 best doors of Art Nouveau around the world (CartaCanta Editore) in addition to thirty curated exhibitions and hundreds of conferences in Europe confirm Andrea's volcanic nature devoted to promotion and preservation of beauty.
In 2014, for the so-called year of Liberty, he created the "Italia Liberty" web portal with the aim of taking a census of all the architectures that still keep this style alive in the peninsula and curated the various editions of the great ITALIAN Photo and Video Competition LIBERTY, from which the volumes: Italian Liberty - The dawn of the twentieth century (2014), Italian Liberty - A new season of Art Nouveau (2015) and Italian Liberty - The European dream of great beauty (2016) were born, all for the Types of CartaCanta Editore, Forlì.
The spin-offs are linked to the same area: Giuseppe Sommaruga (1867-1917). A protagonist of Liberty (2017, for the centenary celebrations) and The world of Art Nouveau (2017). The Facebook page of the same name also emerged from this last book, full of photos and documents relating to all the Art Nouveau in the world, @Theworldartnouveau.
The numerous discoveries of Speziali in the field of Liberty, such as the frescoes by Emile Hurtré in Correggio, the Primavera canvas by Pietro Melandri in Faenza or the lift cabin that belonged to Gaudì's Casa Batllò in Barcelona, have made people talk about themselves in Europe.
The analytical study on the Vicenza-based artist Mario Mirko Vucetich deserves particular mention, from which not only several of his publications came to life that contributed to the rediscovery of one of the most multifaceted figures of the twentieth century, but also the great monographic exhibition of 2012 set up in the fourteenth-century Castle of Marostica, which he himself curated.
Numerous articles by him have been published by eminent newspapers such as Il Resto del Carlino, Sole 24Ore, Il Giornale Off and Repubblica.
In 2020 he was assigned the direction of the Arte Povera and Del Disco museums in Sogliano al Rubicone and the newly erected Vucetich Museum in Marostica and the Liberty Museum in Sarnico. While waiting for the material collected in these last two structures to be directly usable by visitors, the Google Arts & Culture platform allows online consultation. In May 2021 he made his debut as a core music artist. He is currently a teacher of the subject of Graphics in the Italian public school with a specialization in support.
