other · 2026-04-26

Sky Arte will premiere the docu-series 'Rinascimenti Segreti' on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, hosted by conductor Beatrice Venezi. The series travels beyond Florence to uncover Renaissance masterpieces in six Italian locations: Genoa, Sabbioneta, Mantua, Padua, Ancona, Loreto, Naples, Lecce, and Salento. In Genoa, the episode follows Admiral Andrea Doria's footsteps, visiting his villa decorated by Perin del Vaga, a pupil of Raphael, and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso. Sabbioneta and Mantua offer a journey between utopia and illusion with classical myths. Padua highlights works by Donatello, Mantegna, and Titian between the 15th and 16th centuries. The Marche region focuses on the 'Adriatic Renaissance' at the Basilica of Loreto, where painter Lorenzo Lotto retired. Naples examines the Aragonese kingdom's Renaissance legacy, while Lecce and Salento show Renaissance traces later modified by Baroque. The series is produced by Sky Arte with content curated by Artribune.
