Why did Donatella Tiraboschi resign from her position?: Donatella Tiraboschi resigned as director due to disagreements with general manager Gianpietro Bonaldi, particularly concerning communication strategies and decisions regarding exhibitions.
How did the Carrara Academy's governance structure change in 2022?: The Carrara Academy's statutes were modified in July 2022, changing the governance structure. This involved eliminating the committee of guarantors and director, and assigning decision-making power to the Board of Directors.
What were the differences in the appointment processes for Bagnoli and Bonaldi?: Bonaldi's contract was extended without a public tender, unlike Bagnoli's appointment. This discrepancy in appointment methods and the differing views on governance contributed to the conflict.
Who were the other finalists for the director position besides Martina Bagnoli?: Besides Martina Bagnoli, the finalists for the director position were Paolo Plebani (current curator) and Maria Luisa Pacelli (director of the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna). The selection process and the reasons behind the resignation remain unclear.
What were the main points of conflict between Martina Bagnoli and Gianpietro Bonaldi?: The conflict between Bagnoli and Bonaldi centered on communication and decision-making authority. Bagnoli's requests, including changing the press office, were denied by Bonaldi, highlighting their contrasting approaches.
