BERGAMO ART TREASURES WOW SHANGHAI
The exhibition “MAESTRI. DAL RINASCIMENTO all' OTTOCENTO” (The MASTERS. From RENAISSANCE to '800) on loan from the Foundation of the Academy of Carrara and the City of Bergamo, drew the crowds during the recent 5-month exhibition at Shanghai, Peoples Republic of China.
Despite Covid restrictions, 60,000 visitors flocked to see the 54 works of masters such as Raphael, Mantegna, Bellini, Titian, Lotto, Hayez and others on show at the Bund One Art Museum in the exclusive waterfront Bund district. The venue, at Bund No.27 was originally the seat of a colonial British trading company. It was opened to the public in March 2010, after it had been restored for the EXPO 2010 fair. The Victorian style buildings of the Bund have frequently been featured as settings for films.
The Bergamo exhibition will be followed by a series of exhibitions of Italian art from the collections of the Uffizi in Florence, to be held in the same venue over the next five years.
