The Painted House in Todi


The Painted House in Todi is an original mix of archaic, ancient and modern cultures, as original as the artist who conceived this experience: Brian O'Doherty.

He adopted the pseudonym of Patrick Ireland in 1972, after the events of the Bloody Sunday in Derry, to denounce the repressive attitude of the British government towards the Irish claims. Then he decreed the death of Patrick in 2008, returning to his original name (thanks to the change of attitude of Great Britain) with a ceremony held in the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, where the tombstone of Patrick Ireland is still visible.
