Sky Arte Documentary Explores Lorenzo Lotto's Rediscovery by Bernard Berenson
A new documentary titled "Lotto e Berenson: destini incrociati" will premiere on Sky Arte on Thursday, June 12. Produced by 3D Produzioni, written by Didi Gnocchi and Arianna Marelli, and directed by Simona Risi, the film traces the intertwined stories of Renaissance painter Lorenzo Lotto and art critic Bernard Berenson. Actor Alessandro Sperduti narrates, guiding viewers through Lotto's artistic journey from Venice to the Marche region, including a key stop at the Sanctuary of Loreto where Lotto became an oblate. Berenson, a Lithuanian-born Jew raised in Boston, published his first study on Lotto in 1895, reviving the artist after centuries of neglect. The documentary features expert commentary from art historians Francesca Coltrinari, Flavio Caroli, Stefano Zuffi, Enrico Maria Dal Pozzolo, and multimedia artist Refik Anadol.
