The Piano Nobile of Palazzo Collicola will also host the exhibition "Precious Painting", dedicated to painting on stone and copper.
Since the sixteenth century great importance has been given to paintings made on surfaces that have an intrinsic value in themselves, such as stone, copper and glass. This is an eccentric and curious painting, often kept in private cabinets, where the object turned out to be wonderful beyond its artistic quality, defined as precious painting by the curators.
The exhibition Precious Painting offers the opportunity to deepen the theme through the exposure of over forty works, mostly unpublished, from the collections of the Marignoli Foundation of Montecorona di Spoleto and the ancient Valenti family of Trevi, to which was added a precious alabaster generously granted by the Camillo Caetani Foundation of Rome. The paintings, often small, range from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century and offer a fascinating sinking into this particular artistic genre.
The exhibition can be visited during the opening hours of Palazzo Collicola
