Sky Arte documentary explores Renaissance painter Giovan Battista Moroni

Sky Arte airs a documentary on Renaissance painter Giovan Battista Moroni on December 28. Titled "Giovan Battista Moroni. Il pittore e la sua terra," the film traces his life and work, focusing on his bond with Albino in Val Seriana. Moroni, dubbed "pittore della realtà" by critic Roberto Longhi, is known for over a hundred portraits capturing his subjects' faces and souls. The documentary starts from the exhibition "Moroni (1521-1580), Il ritratto del suo tempo" at Gallerie d'Italia in Milan, curated by Simone Facchinetti and Arturo Galansino. It includes contributions from experts and visits to Lombard museums that lent works: Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia, Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, and Palazzo Moroni, a mansion symbolizing the artist's collector legacy.
