      I am Mario Bacchelli's grand daughter-A painter myself too. Lucia Bacchelli Thanks to Prof.and dearest friend and sublime person (passed away now) Mark Orr ,I went to Memphis when he organized an exibition of my grand father in the late 80's. I am so glad art inspires art through out time. I would love to see this art in motion!!!!!--Lots of Marios work remained in Memphis,others of that period are in our family collection,or around the world....just to let you know,I am personally available for info. Mario was italian,his daughter Elisabetta is still alive in Italy,Me and my brother Mario live in Argentina where his son Andrea emigrated after the second WWar.We have lots of his last works in Memphis,where he died in an accident at early 54 years old. Memphis was his inspiration,both for teaching and paintig..he went back after being a prisoner of war there.Caputered in Tunez.But then died in an accident. Mark Orr and his inmense sensibility and culture keep him alive in M Collapse

      This is actually a free event for all Memphians, and should be a lot of fun. It's a sneak peek at the making of a new ballet inspired by a Mario Bacchelli painting in the collection. It's a bright painting of clubs on Beale Street in the 60's, and the modern ballet is set to music by Aretha Franklin. The party is open to the public, meet the dancers, share a glass of wine and enjoy the art! Collapse
