BPER Banca Launches Podcast Series on Its Corporate Art Collection
A three-part podcast series on La Galleria BPER has been initiated by Artribune in collaboration with BPER Banca, featuring narration by Sabrina Bianchi, the Head of Cultural Heritage at BPER Banca. This series delves into the intersection of art and finance, corporate art collections, and the importance of digital accessibility. The collection, which boasts over 10,000 pieces, originated in the late 1950s with Banca Popolare di Modena and has since grown to include significant locations in Modena, Genoa, Brescia, and Milan. New cultural centers will open on September 3 and October 6, showcasing the exhibition 'VANITAS. Fiori e simboli, da Hayez a Casorati.' Silvia Giambrone will receive the BPER Prize in 2026, while the 'CAOS χάος' exhibition is scheduled from September 18, 2026, to February 7, 2027. Additionally, digital projects include the digitization of the historical archive in partnership with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
