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.
