The volume Paolo Conte. Original is an intimate and affectionate, previously unseen portrait of the Asti-born artist, an icon of Italian singer-songwriter tradition, who for years cultivated a private and deeply personal passion for visual art, training as a painter and draftsman while maintaining a profound and continuous relationship with imagery. His world takes shape through colors, lines, abstractions, and figurative suggestions that draw the viewer into the very heart of the same poetic universe as his songs: melancholic, jazz-infused, elegant, and surreal. The exhibition and its catalogue are not only a tribute to his multifaceted figure, but also a rare opportunity to discover the most visual and hidden side of a truly great artist.
