Libera l'arte!, a new contest initiated by Sanex, a brand under Colgate-Palmolive, invites Italians to participate in an online vote for one of eight sculptures set for restoration by January 2020.

The sculptures up for consideration include: the Statue of Artemis located at Palazzo Reale in Turin (Piedmont); Pomona by Jean-Baptiste Boudard at Palazzo Ducale del Giardino in Parma (Emilia-Romagna); the Madonna del Coazzone at Castello Sforzesco in Milan (Lombardy); a plaster replica of Canova's Venus de Milo at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence (Tuscany); a 20th-century Madonna and Child statue in Amatrice (Lazio); Fontana del Delfino in Bergamo (Lombardy); an 18th-century Saint Teresa statue in Rome (Lazio); and another 18th-century statue in Monza (Lombardy). Voting concludes on October 9, 2019, at liberalarte.org.
