 The Foundation Pescarabruzzo and the cultural association Culture Tracks organized from the  4th until the 31st of  July 2009, at the exhibition hall of the Foundation - Maison des Arts in C.so Umberto I, n. 83 in Pescara - an art exhibition entitled:

"THE LONG JOURNEY FROM THE NORTH" - from 1877 to 1915 - Abruzzo in the paintings of  Scandinavian artists - Civita d'Antino and the Zahrtmann's School."

 The exhibition brought together 30 works, all of private collectors, to recount the extraordinary story of the colony of Scandinavian artists that for over thirty years, between the end of '800 and the early '900, attended the Abruzzi and the village of Civita d'Antino. Artists of northern Europe, led by a charismatic character, the painter Kristian Zahrtmann who, in 1883, had discovered this village in Abruzzi, a village perched on a plateau at the center of Valle Roveto. Enchanted by the landscape with mountains surrounded by beech, from the healthy air and especially by the goodness of its inhabitants , Zahrtmann  started there his summer art school.  The earthquake that struck the Marsicain area in 1915  and the death of the master Zahrtmann in 1917 ended this long creative season.

The works, including paintings by Peter Hansen, GF Clements, K. Zahrtmann, A. S. Danneskjold-Samsoe, K. Sinding and others, evoke images, places and people who testify as our land has been a great source of inspiration and this exhibition wanted to testify that it is also today. In the exhibition there was also a painting of the Swedish artist Anders Trulson, who died in 1911 in Civita d'Antino and his is burried in the old cemetery of the village.

The exhibition has been opened with an introductory lecture at the conference hall of the Foundation Pescarabruzzo (ground floor) and it has been accompanied by the projection of the documentary-video  "Zahrtmann's School in Civita d'Antino" by the arch. Piero Moscone.

At the conference: Prof. Nicola Mattoscio (President of the Foundation Pescarabruzzo); Avv Luigi Arbore Mascia (Mayor of Pescara), Dr. Katia Di Simone (President of Culture Tracks), Dr. Antonio Bini (Expertof the history of Danish artists in Abruzzo).
