Francesca Bazoli reconfirmed as president of Fondazione Brescia Musei

Francesca Bazoli has been reconfirmed as president of Fondazione Brescia Musei for another term, alongside director Stefano Karadjov. In an interview with Artribune, she reflects on the foundation's achievements, including the relocation of the Vittoria Alata to the Capitolium Temple with a display by Juan Navarro Baldeweg, the reopening of the Roman section at Santa Giulia, and the opening of the Unesco Corridor linking the Archaeological Park to the museum. Immaterial results include the 'Palcoscenici archeologici' exhibitions with artists Francesco Vezzoli, Emilio Isgrò, and Fabrizio Plessi, and the international valorization of Giacomo Ceruti through a joint exhibition with the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Bazoli highlights the shift in Brescia's perception from an industrial hub to an art city, aided by its role as 2023 Italian Capital of Culture. She credits the 'Alleanza per la cultura' of over thirty entrepreneurs for supporting the foundation. Future projects include a new tunnel at the Pinacoteca, restoration of the Roman Theater by David Chipperfield, and initiatives for inclusivity. The foundation's public-private governance model is praised for its agility and civic engagement.
