The &#8216;Tutto.Leonardo&#8217;\u00a0multimedia installation by Italian artist Mariangela Levita, co-developed by the Italian Embassy in Stockholm as part of the \u201cItalian Way of Life\u201d integrated promotion programme to celebrate the genius of Leonardo da Vinci at 500 years from his death. However, the work by Mariangela Levita also arises from the recognition of the versatile mastery of Gio Ponti, who designed and built the building of the Institute 61 years ago on the basis of an intuition of Carlo Maurilio Lerici, engineer and archaeologist, who shouldered much of the financial burden. The &#8216;Tutto.Leonardo&#8217; project merges painting and architecture, light and colour, sign and sound, transforming the more than 100 differently configured windows on the fa\u00e7ade of the Stockholm building into \u201cdiaphragm-screens\u201d, based on the theory of the simple colours that Leonardo found in nature: &#8220;<em>il bianco metteremo per la luce senza la quale nissun colore veder si pu\u00f2, ed il giallo per la terra, il verde per l\u2019acqua, l\u2019azzurro per l\u2019aria, ed il rosso per il fuoco, ed il nero per le tenebre<\/em>&#8221; (<i>\u201cWe will put white for light, without which no colour can be seen, and yellow for the ground, green for water, blue for air, red for fire and black for darkness\u201d). <\/i>Thus, every single window serves as a monochrome filter for the surrounding space, mirroring the building\u2019s daily life in an osmotic relationship between the inside and outside of the building. Starting from Leonardo\u2019s idea that painting was a mental exercise, TUTTO.Leonardo embraces Gio Ponti\u2019s all-inclusive concept of art, to the point of materially applying his thought that everything in the world must be brightly coloured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fa\u00e7ade of the building that hosts the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm is transformed into a colour-hued music score.
