Across the River and into the Trees. Metamorphosis of Flora and Fauna in Toni Zuccheri

In Toni Zuccheri we celebrate a rural habitat which, rather than belonging to the weekend hunting lodges linked to motifs with deer and dogs, is that of a certain Veneto which, from the presence of animals in the Bassano paintings, goes to the scenes of bird catching on the popular nineteenth-century dishes also studied by the art historian Licisco Magagnato, right up to the ceramics that even Giuseppe Santomaso made in 1946 for the Ristorante all'Angelo, where Peggy Guggenheim met with Venetian artists.
