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.

Floods always trigger the blame game as today in Italy.
Under Portugal’s dictatorship in 1967, censors “froze” the number of victims at 200. Witnesses like Dennis Redmont reported that the real figure was twice as high as it is discovered 50 years later in a tell-all exhibit, held on Saturday the 30th of November 2019 at Vila Franca de Xira, in Portugal.
Apart from a big photo exhibit (some from Life magazine), there have been lots of testimonials with videos and a play.
