The exhibition ” Venice: Canaletto and his rivals” ( 20 February to 30 May 2011) at the National Art Gallery in Washington, one of the most prestigious museums in the United States, is one of the most important events during the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification, and Bracco Foundation decided to support this very important project dedicated to a unique artistic period in the history of Italian painting.
Type: Arts
A second edition of a major exhibition titled “Angiolo d’Andrea. La riscoperta di un Maestro tra Simbolismo e Novecento” (the rediscovery of a master of Symbolism and twentieth-century art) took place in Pordenone in 2014. Promoted by Fondazione Bracco in collaboration with the Municipality of Pordenone, this second edition included some important new additions with respect to the first exhibition in Milan in 2012. Curated by Luciano Caramel, the exhibition of more than 120 works paid homage to Angiolo D’Andrea, and commemorated this unjustly forgotten Friulian artist who was active in Milan in the early decades of the twentieth century.
To celebrate an important anniversary, the 150 years of Italian Unification, the Foundation is taking part in the rich programme of initiatives planned, offering in Italy and abroad important opportunities for remembering the historical, political and artistic phases that together created the identity of the Bel Paese.
Inaugurated on September 12, 2013 at the Washington National Air and Space Museum was the exhibition on the Leonardo da Vinci “Codex on the flight of birds”, supported by Bracco Foundation, attentive as always to the relationships between art and technology.
