for her work.Among other female figures appearing on the third floor we find Mezzaqui and Sabrina Torelli who, as Eva Marisaldi, brought their work outside Bologna exposing at Galleria Massimo Minini in Brescia. In this room we could not miss Sissi, successful performer, who in addition to knowing how to work with her body has always shown her manual skills in the processing of the material. Although the exhibition is titled Bologna after Morandi we didn't speak about painting: with reference to this discipline the two most important artistic presences on the third floor are those of Alessandro Pessoli and Pierpaolo Campanini (among other things many of mentioned artists studied together at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna having as professor of painting Concetto Pozzati). The first carries out a rigorous discourse of contamination between photo and painting, while Campanini prefers a purely pictorial practice based on a strong relationship with the object (he sews structures on the objects he photographs as if they were "pseudo contaminated sculptures", and then he paint them). Campanini leads a slow and arduous work, that "resurrects the act of painting with a real purity", as Barilli has written, and probably among all the artists in the show is the artist that, for the particular characteristics of his painting, more closely resembles us the modus operandi by Giorgio Morandi.

Among contemporary painters not included in this section but shown on the second floor we find Giovanni Manfredini, who paints nocturnals with sudden luminescence, and Alessandro Moreschini, a painter of rare precision, who wields a decorative work and at the same time abstract, an unicum among the various currents of art in Bologna in the last decades.
