About us
The association
The Associazione Archivio Nuvolo was established in 2015 at the behest of the Ascani family, with the aim of protecting and promoting the artistic and cultural heritage in memory of Maestro Giorgio Ascani Nuvolo.
It is primarily concerned with the census and cataloguing of all of Nuvolo’s pictorial work, aimed at the production of the general catalogue raisonné, research and acquisition of every document pertaining to the artist and his work.
An important part of Nuvolo’s activity concerns the Atelier of Serigraphy, which has been reorganized and catalogued in a similar way to his pictorial work.
He promotes the organization of exhibitions, conferences, publications and cultural events dedicated to the artist, collaborating with private galleries and public institutions.
