Restituzioni exhibition in Milan showcases restored Italian masterpieces from Caravaggio to Carrà

The exhibition "Restituzioni" at Gallerie d'Italia in Milan presents over 140 restored artworks from Italian public collections, highlighting regional identities and advances in restoration techniques. Curated by Carlo Bertelli and Giorgio Bonsanti, the show runs until July 17, 2016. Among the highlights is Caravaggio's "Ritratto di cavaliere di Malta (Alof de Wignacourt?)" (1608), from the Galleria Palatina in Florence, and a "Resurrezione" by Rubens from the same museum. Other artists include Francesco del Cossa, Pietro Perugino, Lorenzo Lotto, Luca Giordano, and Carlo Carrà, whose 1917 metaphysical work was created in Ferrara alongside Giorgio de Chirico. Ancient works include the "Cavaliere Marafioti" terracotta group (420-400 BC) from the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Reggio Calabria, discovered in 1910 at Locri by Paolo Orsi. The exhibition also features videos documenting restoration processes across painting, mosaic, sculpture, and applied arts.
