Gina Roma. Painter, artist, woman. In the name of color (1946–2002)
From March 29 to June 28, 2026, Oderzo hosts the exhibition dedicated to Gina Roma, an artist profoundly linked to the Opitergino territory and a protagonist of the cultural scene of the Twentieth Century.
Born in Vazzola and trained between Treviso and Venice, Gina Roma moved to Oderzo in 1943, a city that became the center of her life and artistic activity. Here she developed an intense creative and cultural journey, actively contributing to the promotion of modern art and the growth of local artistic institutions.
Painter and cultural animator, she founded the Quattro Cantoni Cultural Circle in 1968 and Ca’ Lozzio Incontri in 1987. Between 1986 and 1993, she also presided over the Alberto Martini Pinacoteca, promoting initiatives dedicated to contemporary art, including the Engraving Biennale named after the Opitergino graphic artist.
The exhibition retraces her artistic journey through works created between 1946 and 2002, returning to the public the expressive energy and rich chromatic research that characterize her painting.
Together with the Museum of the Cathedral, at Ca’ Lozzio Incontri, the Oderzo Cultura Foundation remembers and celebrates her with a widespread exhibition that has Palazzo Foscolo as the central exhibition venue, offering the opportunity to rediscover a significant figure in the art of the Twentieth Century deeply linked to the cultural history of Oderzo.
