Beppe Morino (1926-1986). A man, an artist
Date of the event:
«Beppe Morino (1926-1986). A man, an artist» is the event with which the Civic Museum Gipsoteca of Savigliano commemorated, from 13 to 15 November 2026, the Savigliano painter Beppe Morino on the centenary of his birth. The initiative took place in the museum's old refectory, in via San Francesco in Savigliano [1][2].
The programme
At the heart of the event was a theatrical performance by the Voci Erranti company, directed by Grazia Isoardi and Marco Mucaria, inspired by the artist's life and works. The show also drew on accounts from people who had known Morino, collected by the city's historical archive: through theatre, it told the story of Beppe Morino and of the Savigliano of the 1950s and 1960s, a city the artist had portrayed in many of his works [1][2].
A preview of the performance was reserved for schools on the morning of Friday 13 November, to bring Morino's figurative language and his «dreaming children» closer to younger generations. For the rest of the public, the show was staged on the evenings of Friday 13, Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, starting at 9pm [1][2].
The temporary exhibition
At the end of each performance, visitors could see some of Morino's works from a private collection, set up in the museum for the occasion in a temporary exhibition, conceived as a moment following and complementing the theatrical experience. Admission to the shows was free, subject to availability [1][2].
