On the 28th of November 2019, the Museo Nacional de Arte Antiga of Lisbon opened to the public an exhibit on the Portuguese painter Alvaro Pirez, who painted between 1410 and 1434. The painter lived many years in Italy and in particular in Tuscany during the Renaissance period and was confronted with artists such as Beato Angelico and Gentile da Fabriano.
The exhibit, for which Dennis Redmont has collaborated and which will end in March 2020, hosts works from Italy and Tuscany, similar to many sublime European museums such as the Louvre and the Berlin’s Gemalde Galerie. With more than 100 works from Italy, this is the most ambitious exhibit of Italian art organized in Portugal.
It is a unique and unrepeatable opportunity to show the intense relations between Italy and Portugal, especially in the artistic field.

Dennis Redmont is guest columnist for Portuguese leading weekly Expresso: the article analyzes the role of Italy’s trash TV and the advent of populism, which spread like wildfire within the country’s political frame in the past few years.
The blame game is not as clear and simple as it appears to be. The “wild west” private TV and transformation by Silvio Berlusconi remains a superficial explanation.
A stagnant economy, a suffering educational system and a demography making it one of the oldest countries in the world can be found at the root of the problem.
