Grand Hotel Baglioni  ·  Bologna 
B. P. Before Present” by Andrea Benetti 
curated by Simona Gavioli 

In May 2011, an exhibition by Andrea Benetti, curated by Simona Gavioli, was held at the historic Grand Hotel Baglioni in Bologna. The exhibition took place in the rooms and lounges specially prepared to host Lady Diana during her stay in Bologna. The exhibition lasted two months and attracted a large number of visitors. The hotel director recalled that it was in this very hotel that the great Giorgio Morandi, a symbol of Italian and Bolognese painting, held his first exhibition. The event was sponsored by the Municipality of Bologna, the Association of Industrialists, and the Association of Merchants. Many prominent local figures attended the opening. A catalog for the exhibition, published by Media Brain and edited by Simona Gavioli, was printed for the occasion. The initiative was part of a broader project titled “Art Offside,” comprising four exhibitions.
