Hidden Masterpieces from Italian Private Collections on View in San Marino

Palazzo SUMS in San Marino is currently hosting an exhibition named 'I capolavori del patrimonio nascosto' (Masterpieces of Hidden Heritage), which will be open until April 30. Curated by Giancarlo Graziani, the exhibition seeks to enhance awareness and encourage the dynamic appreciation of Italy's private art collections. It includes fourteen paintings and sculptures, alongside a series of fourteen detached frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries, originally part of the Cycle of Palazzo Spreca in Viterbo. The display spans from the early Renaissance through the Baroque period to 20th-century art, featuring works by notable artists such as Giacomo Balla, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Gian Battista Tiepolo. The exhibition is organized chronologically across four rooms, each with distinct scents to reflect its historical context. Graziani described the exhibition as a pivotal moment for recognizing previously hidden artistic heritage.
