Genoa's State Museums Unite for Baroque Masterpieces Show
In Genoa, the Palazzo Reale's Teatro del Falcone is hosting an exhibition called 'Capolavori dei Palazzi,' featuring over 40 artworks from the Musei Nazionali di Genova, which was founded in 2016 and includes sites like Palazzo Spinola and Palazzo Reale. This collection showcases pieces from the 16th to 18th centuries, featuring famous artists such as Tintoretto, Joos van Cleve, and Orazio Gentileschi. The exhibition is arranged both thematically and chronologically, starting with Parodi's marble sculpture 'Adone e Amore' from around 1635 and finishing with a portrait of Maria Francesca Durazzo by Anton von Maron from 1792. Additionally, another exhibition at Palazzo Reale highlights 20th-century art from private collections.
