Journals of Physics and Metaphysics, No. 3 The Shape of Italy
The ’Journals of Physics and Metaphysics’ of the Cerruti Collection, published by Allemandi in Turin, are an in-depth study and reflection on topics related to the collection of the entrepreneur and collector Francesco Federico Cerruti, now housed in the villa at Rivoli.
The ‘Journals of Physics and Metaphysics’ are an in-depth publication by Allemandi, dedicated to topics related to the Cerruti Collection. The first three issues are edited by critic and essayist Andrea Cortellessa, who also conceived the title and its dual approach. Each issue of the Journals addresses a specific theme from two perspectives: “physics,” in the sense of scientific, philological, and historical analysis of the works; and “metaphysics,” in the sense of philosophical and narrative reflection.
The title of the series pays homage to Giorgio de Chirico, one of Cerruti’s favorite artists, ten of whose paintings are in the Collection.
The third issue, The Shape of Italy, to be released in November 2025, on the occasion of Artissima, addresses the topic from different perspectives, including essays by Raffaele Bedarida and Stefano Chiodi, an unpublished story by Helena Janeczek, and a contribution by artist Alessandra Ferrini.
