The idea for this exhibition was inspired by a previous project with Ambassador Roberto Toscano and his wife Francesca (both of whom are instrumental in the organization of this exhibition in New Delhi) during their tenure in Teheran. The title of the exhibition, Carte7, is an idea by Elisa Montessori, and alludes to a series of themes and concepts implicated in this exhibition but also a play on words that is too complex for translation. Suffice it to say that the country of India has inspired all of us to conceive an exhibition that is both linked to that country but also reflects artistic practice in Italy. Given the strong interest in international art in India, it seemed timely to explore the possibility of bringing our exhibition of Italian artists to the country. And what better idea than to bring women painters from Rome for the first time: a symbol of exchange and future collaboration between the two countries. Curated by Mary Angela Schroth

In occasione dei venticinque anni di vita della rivista Disegnare. Idee, Immagini vorrei tracciare un breve quadro degli avvenimenti che sul finire degli anni Ottanta ci indussero a fondare questa rivista. Come è noto la Scuola Romana del Disegno ha avuto origine e si è sviluppata fin dal momento della nascita della Facoltà di Architettura e ha avuto alcuni grandi maestri come Vincenzo Fasolo, Fausto Vagnetti, seguito da Luigi Vagnetti a sua volta seguito da Gaspare de Fiore e da molti altri ottimi disegnatori e docenti; cito ad esempio Angelo Marinucci, un eccellente disegnatore ma soprattutto un grande acquarellista. | On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the magazine Disegnare. Idee, Immagini I'd like to briefly tell you the story of why we decided to publish the magazine in the early eighties. As we all know the Roman School of Drawing was founded in conjunction with the Faculty of Architecture. Several important masters taught at the school: Vincenzo Fasolo, Fausto Vagnetti, followed by Luigi Vagnetti, Gaspare de Fiore and many other talented draughtsmen and teachers, for example Angelo Marinucci, an excellent draughtsman but above all a talented watercolourist.
