Fondazione Giorgio Cini Collection to Travel Abroad for First Time
For the first time, the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice will showcase its masterpieces internationally in an exhibition titled 'Trésors de Venise. La collection Cini.' This event will take place at the Hôtel de Caumont – Centre d'art in Aix-en-Provence from December 17, 2020, to March 28, 2021. This exhibition marks a significant moment ahead of the foundation's 70th anniversary, which will be celebrated in 2021, as it was founded in 1951 by Vittorio Cini. Approximately 80 artworks from his collection will be displayed, featuring renowned Old Masters like Botticelli alongside contemporary creators such as Vik Muniz. The Palazzo Cini transitioned into a museum in 1984, following a donation from Cini's daughter, Princess Yana Cini Alliata di Montereale, and has been part of the Dorsoduro Museum Mile since 2015.
