The Méridien Beach Plaza is hosting the world premiere of Gianni Ottaviani’s latest works ‘Tutti in fila’, presented by ArtSGK.
Gianni Ottaviani was born in Popoli, Abruzzo, Italy. His artistic career has been shaped by the world’s most famous contemporary artists, which Ottaviani says he knows personally and who have taught him a lot both artistically and personally.
A recognised portraitist, his art now tells a story of how society isolates itself more and more from reality as it neglects interpersonal relationships.

Taking the form of collage, his paintings utilise human figures like puppets, where decomposition and recomposition form the main theme of ‘Tutti in fila’, or ‘All in a row’, together with his use of slogans.
Ottaviani’s works attempt to bear witness to the most frantic historical moments of all time.
“There is a lot of talk about Ottaviani right now, but that is nothing compared to what we will say about him in the future,” says Sandrine Knoell-Garbagnati, founder of ArtSGK.

No strangers to Switzerland, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo were invited for the first time to the Opéra de Lausanne from January 19 to 21. The last visit of the Company to the city was in February 1996 at the Palais de Beaulieu, with a programme of "Ballets Russes": Scheherazade, The Prodigal Son and Prince Igor.
Last week’s three performances of Cendrillon, with choreography by Jean-Christophe Maillot, a play created in 1999 and danced more than 200 times across the world, received an ovation each evening from the Swiss public.
The Monaco Tourism and Convention Bureau, represented by its communication department, organised the Premiere evening, a successful operation with the Swiss press and their MICE guests.
