From June to September 2011 an exhibition was held at the Hotel Desirèe in Spartaia - Procchio. This splendid hotel has been an active part of the history of the Island of Elba since 1957 as it was originally the "buen retiro" residence of one of the most famous opera singers of the twentieth century: Tancredi Pasero. The Hotel Management, as if to underline the importance that art has always had in this ancient residence, is very careful to offer a prestigious welcome and to present ever-changing artistic initiatives every year. In this context he exhibited various works by Marilena Badaracchi throughout the summer of 2011.
