Fondazione Bracco, the Bracco Foundation, has entered into a partnership with the Municipality of Milan to promote the city’s historical, artistic, and civic heritage, and make it more accessible to residents and visitors alike.
Type: Art and science
Fondazione Bracco is one of the main sponsors of Pavia 1525: The arts in the Renaissance and the battle tapestries,” an exhibition being staged at the Civic Museums of Castello Visconteo in Pavia on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Pavia. The exhibition, which celebrates the city’s role as a crossroads of arts, ideas and culture in the Renaissance, is also a way of reinforcing the bonds between Pavia and the Region of Lombardy in which it lies, and generally promoting Italy’s national cultural heritage.
The exhibition “Art from Inside. Masterpieces unveiled between art and science” is the result of a project by the Bracco Foundation, born from a long journey of research, study, and collaboration grounded in a firm conviction: the technologies used to treat the human body can also become valuable tools for “caring for” works of art, revealing their hidden essence and contributing significantly to their restoration, preservation, and appreciation.
The Bracco Group, Official Gold Sponsor of the Italian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, is staging several major Expo events on themes ranging from art to medicine of the future as it showcases Italian excellence, strengthens cultural links between Italy and Japan, and emphasizes the central importance of scientific innovation and research.
The Poldi Pezzoli Museum of Milan along with its scientific partner, the Bracco Foundation, is sponsoring a unique “live” event: the restoration of Piero del Pollaiolo’s Portrait of a Young Woman, one of the museum’s most beloved masterpieces.

Fondazione Bracco is supporting an exhibition (free admission) in Rome from 13 July to 10 September 2023 at the Carlo Bilotti Museum with the title Ritratte. Donne di arte e di scienza (Portrayed. Women of Art and Science). The exhibition celebrates the faces, careers and talents of Italian women who have become leading lights in the worlds of science and culture. Promoted by Roma Capitale, Department of Culture and the Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali [the Office for the Preservation and Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Rome], it is curated by the Foundation, Arthemisia and Zetema Progetto Cultura, a museum services company owned by the city council.
In September 2022, as part of its ongoing long-term collaboration with Accademia Teatro alla Scala, Fondazione Bracco was the Main Partner for the production of The Secret Marriage, an “opera buffa” by the composer Domenico Cimarosa.
