"What happens when a 21st-century Italian painter falls under
the spell of a 19th-century New England poet? In the case of Alberto Mancini and Emily Dickinson, the
answer can be seen in "I'll Tell You How the Sun
Rose," an exhibition of 29 oil paintings on view at the Eli Marsh Gallery at Amherst College. Each
painting was inspired by a poem by Dickinson." --Pat Cahill, The Springfield Republican The exhibition is free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to tour the Emily Dickinson Museum, 280 Main Street the birthplace and home of Emily Dickinson, the poet who inspired a talented artist to create a suite of paintings that you will never forget. www.emilydickinsonmuseum.org
