To honour the Hungarian-Italian Cultural Season the National Széchényi Library of Hungary presents the exhibition where a selection of representative works of art are on display from art books by the Colophonarte Publisher Company of Belluno. During its twenty-five years of existence, books by the publishing company were mainly not illustrated texts, but, due to the passionate interest of the owner, the books are really works of art that are reflections inspired by literary texts.

The volumes have works by of contemporary Italian poets, as well as by authors known by Hungarian visitors, such as Dante, Petrarca, Shakespeare, Goethe, Apollinaire, Verlaine, Brecht or Chekhov. The literary texts are engaged in a dialogue with Italian artists like Enrico Agostino Bonalumi, Trouble, Enrico Castellani, Carlo Mattioli, or Walter Valentini. Encounters between the various branches of art are not limited to literature, and fine arts. The interaction of music and sculpture resulted in the statue of Giuseppe Spagnulo, that accompanies Arnold Schoenberg's partiture Variations op. 31 or the bronze and wooden box by Arnaldo Pomodoro that contains a text dedicated to the conductor Claudio Abbado.

The Publisher Colophonarte has formerélt shown in Vienna (Arnold Schoenberg Center), in Milan (Museo d'Arte Moderna), New York (Museum of Modern Art), in Paris (Musèe d'Orsay), in Venice (Teatro la Fenice). The visitors to the exhibition with the material presented for the first time will hopefully not be only passively viewers: taking a copy of printed on handmade paper or cards in their hands, they themselves will become readers of the text turned into works of art.
