16. DONNA FATALE BRIOSA<br />

La bella Palma Bucarelli, qui alla Biennale del<br />

1962, era una figura leggendaria nel mondo<br />

dell’<strong>art</strong>e del dopoguerra.<br />

Come direttore della Galleria Nazionale d’Arte<br />

Moderna aggiornò l’istituzione estendendo gli<br />

spazi e la collezione, allestendo mostre importanti,<br />

come quella - senza precedenti per<br />

Roma- su Picasso.<br />

Il suo fascino femminile era accompagnato da<br />

una cultura profonda e da una scaltra abilità<br />

nell’ottenere finanziamenti dal parlamento e<br />

dal governo.<br />

La collaborazione con Giulio Carlo Argan, storico<br />

dell’<strong>art</strong>e e Sindaco di Roma, contribuì<br />

considerevolmente al successo della sua carriera.<br />

VAMP WITH VERVE<br />

The beautiful Palma Bucarelli, seen here at the<br />

1962 Venice Biennale, was a legendary figure in<br />

the postwar Roman <strong>art</strong> world.<br />

As director of the National Gallery of Modern Art<br />

she updated that institution by expanding the<br />

premises and the collections, and putting on<br />

major exhibitions, including a ground-breaking<br />

Picasso show.<br />

Her feminine appeal was more than matched by<br />

erudition and a canny ability to secure important<br />

subsidies from Parliament and the government.<br />

Teamwork with Giulio Carlo Argan, <strong>art</strong> historian<br />

and sometime mayor of Rome, contributed<br />

substantially to her successful career.<br />
