The Town of Danville’s Village Theatre Art Gallery is pleased to present Bellissimo! An art exhibit featuring the creative talents of 12 Italian and Italian-American artists who reside in Northern California.  Artists included in this exhibition are Kym Cortigiano, Gianluca Franzese, Tricia Grame, Maria Grazia Romeo, Lar Landa, Robert LaRocca, Paulette Perone Long, Carlos Pillado, Nola Pardi Proll, Michael Rizza, Peter Scaturro and Emily Smith Silvestri.  

The exhibition has been co-curated by two Danville Artists: Tricia Grame and Emily Smith Silvestri.  Both women sought out an array of imagery, styles, subject matter and media to highlight the many talents of a variety of Italian Artists.  The two resident artists collaborated with Museo Italo Americano in San Francisco to curate an eclectic show that pays homage to Italian culture and heritage.
