Casa Croci is beginning a series of exhibitions dedicated to 20th century poets and poetry, with an exhibition on the life and work of the greatest 20th century poet from Ticino: Giorgio Orelli.

On the occasion of his ninetieth birthday (born at Airolo in 1921), an exhibition at Casa Croci pays an affectionate tribute to him, by exploring his life and friendships, his poetry, his criticism and translations, and his passion for art. First editions, manuscripts, letters, photographs, drawings, pictures of artist friends and audiovisual materials paint a picture of the work of one of the most significant poets in the Italian language from the second half of the 20th century.
