BEAUTIFUL ITALY: Art and identity of the capital cities
Scuderie Juvarriane at the Reggia di Venaria
Until 11 September 2011
Within the impressive setting of the Scuderie Juvarriane at the Reggia di Venaria, more than 300 Italian
masterpieces reveal the progress of art from the medieval period to the eve of 1861 by means of the
pre-Unification capitals: Turin, Florence, Rome, Milan, Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Naples and Palermo.
The exhibition shows the image of the various cities – their culture, traditions and historic-artistic
heritage – as seen by the major historical artists: Giotto, Beato Angelico, Donatello, Raphael,
Leonardo, Botticelli, Bronzino, Titian, Veronese, Correggio, Caravaggio, Rubens, Tiepolo, Canova,
Hayez and many more. A path that reveals the profile of Italian art and style.
