The show

“IRONY OF REALITY – PAS de DEUX” by the Turin painter and illustrator Titti Garelli and the eclectic artist Plinio Martelli curated by Luisa Valentini and Carla Barovetti, Ponte per l'arte association.

Titti Garelli was born in Turin, where she lives and works; his works have been exhibited in art galleries in Italy, Europe and the United States of America. His illustrations are requested by publishing and major international advertising agencies.

For years she has been working as a maker of female images, mainly linked to the adolescent universe: often mischievous, transgressive, restless; an unconventional female imagery, articulated on pre-existing creatures of her literary and cinematographic loves, stolen from old magazines, to which she gives a real second life, as if resurfaced from the oblivion of waste paper for new stories.


Plinio Martelli (1945-2016) is a son of art: his grandfather and father, artists in Ferrara and Milan, worked alongside Carrà, Menzio, Fico and other well-known contemporary artists. In 1969 he set up his first one-man show in the Christian Stein contemporary art gallery, with which he had an intense collaboration for many years. He participates in numerous international exhibitions, exhibiting in 2011 at the 54th Venice Biennale.

In addition to sculpture , drawing and painting , another important field of his research was artist cinema , for which he was invited in 1978 to the Venice Biennale and the Cinémathèque Française in Paris, exhibiting at the Center Pompidou. Photography is used by him as a metaphor for painting, following a precise method of technical and expressive construction.


In 1969 he began a series of works on tattoos , focusing his research on the human condition with references to a different identity, full of citations on the continuous aesthetic and behavioral anthropological transformation.

The two artists are closely linked both in life, having spent 50 years together as a couple, and in their work which, although extremely different in terms of research, is always crossed by a profound and acute irony.

The Govone Residenza Sabauda association in collaboration with the Govone Arte commission and the Ponte per l'Arte association is pleased to once again host contemporary art in the halls of the Castle, which has always been a place of artistic, historical and cultural mingling and experimentation in the area of Roero, Langhe and Monferrato .
