It currently features two thematic exhibitions, one on each of the museum\u2019s floors. <\/p>\n\n<p>On the upper floor, the exhibition explores the relationship between Pomili and na\u00efve painting, highlighting the main reasons for this association and seeking to situate \u2018Il Tarpato\u2019 within the broader social and cultural context of \u2018spontaneous\u2019 art.<\/p>\n\n<p>On the lower floor, however, the exhibition explores a central aspect of Pomili\u2019s artistic vision: his interest in the history and folklore of Grottammare. Drawing on insights from his paintings, it touches upon some of the most significant historical themes associated with the ancient village, as well as fairy-tale elements from folk tradition.<\/p>\n\n<p>News and information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comune.grottammare.ap.it\/servizi\/musei-comunali\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Musei Civici &#8211; Citt\u00e0 di Grottammare<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6538,"template":"","tipologia-luoghi":[111],"class_list":["post-6537","luoghi","type-luoghi","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-luoghi-museums"],"bee_custom_fields":{"intro":"","address":"","stelle":"","gallery":[],"immagine_in_evidenza":"https:\/\/www.visitgrottammare.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Dipinto-del-Tarpato.jpg","fisso":"","mobile":"","fax":"","latitudine":"","longitudine":"","sitoweb":"","email":"","facebook":"","instagram":"","youtube":"","orari":"","audioguida":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitgrottammare.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/luoghi\/6537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitgrottammare.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/luoghi"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitgrottammare.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/luoghi"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitgrottammare.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitgrottammare.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipologia-luoghi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitgrottammare.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipologia-luoghi?post=6537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
