Pinacoteca di Brera – Milan

AmminFelicity — Fri, 12 Oct 2018 15:04:08 +0000

TOTALLY RENOVATED in appearance thanks to the redesign of all the rooms and the inauguration of a café named after the historic Wittgens director.
Il 1° ottobre il pubblico ha potuto ammirare il riallestimento di tutte le 38 sale – On 1 October the public was able to admire the rearrangement of all 38 rooms – La caffetteria acquisirà i suoi prodotti in un orto a sud di Milano e ospiterà al suo interno tele delle collezioni museali. The cafeteria will acquire its products in a vegetable garden south of Milan and will host paintings from the museum collections.
Un percorso espositivo in una delle Pinacoteche più famose d’Italia e del mondo. An exhibition itinerary in one of the most famous art galleries in Italy and in the world. Trentotto sale, una panoramica sull’arte pittorica che va dal gotico medievale al Novecento, con lo sguardo puntato sui capolavori della pittura Lombardo-Veneta, ma che accoglie importantissime opere del Rinascimento fiorentino e dell’Italia centrale, oltre ad ospitare importantissimi artisti stranieri. Thirty-eight rooms, an overview of pictorial art ranging from medieval Gothic to the twentieth century, with a gaze focused on the masterpieces of Lombard-Venetian painting, but which includes important works of the Florentine Renaissance and central Italy, as well as hosting important foreign artists. This is how the Pinacoteca can admire timeless masterpieces such as the Dead Christ and the Madonna con Bambino by Andrea Mantegna, the great hall dedicated to Lorenzo Lotto, Tiziano and Tintoretto, with the wonderful Finding of the Body of San Marco.
Among the masters of the Renaissance are Piero della Francesca, with the latest work created by the humanist innovator, the Pala Montefeltro; the urbinate Bramante, who was the founder of the Milanese Renaissance during his Milanese stay, of which Christ is kept at the Colonna; and finally Raphael, whose Marriage of the Virgin is certainly one of the best known works in the collection. Noteworthy are the paintings by Caravaggio from Bergamo, to whom Room 29 is dedicated, which houses two very important works such as the Cena in Emmaus and the Canestra di Frutta, as well as many paintings by the seventeenth-century Caravaggio painters. Among the foreigners, prominent names are undoubtedly Rubens, the seventeenth-century Flemish master, and his pupil and friend Antoon Van Dyck, leading exponents of Flanders painting.
The collection does not fail to present the Macchiaioli masters of the nineteenth century, the famous romantic painter Hayez, whose famous Bacio finds space in the Pinacoteca, and finally the contemporary painting of great artists such as the furious Boccioni (The City that rises), Modigliani (l’Enfant Gras) and even Picasso, here present with his Testa di Toro. An experience of great importance, a well-constructed and complete journey through the fundamental centuries of the history of Italian painting and beyond, punctuated by immortal masterpieces and supported by works by lesser known artists, but fundamental for the vitality and pictorial development of our country.

Visiting Pompeii Escavations
The excavations of Pompeii constitute an extraordinary evidence of the ancient world thanks to the condition of the city that remained intact after the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 ac. Between the 7th and 6th century B.C the town of Pompeii knew a growth of its population as the city had two important ways of communication that facilitate its commerce. During the centuries Pompeii was a dominion of Sanniti and other populations. Starting from the 18th century Pompeii saw the light thanks to the excavations that the Bourbon wanted. This permitted to have a precise frame of the daily life of the roman period. Today we can admire again the most important streets of the town on which the houses, the little shops and the public monuments faced, as the famous amphitheatre.

Glimpses on the archaeological excavation of Pompeii

The first excavations of the area dates back to 1748: Carlo III Borbone wanted them after the discovery of Herculaneum.
Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre directed the works: he founded several coins and objects of the roman period. However, de Alcubierre thought he found the ancient Stabiae. Then, the works had a stop as the recoveries seemed to diminish. The works begin again in 1754 and in 1763 an epigraph was found: it stated about the Res Publica Pompeianorum, which proved that the city was Pompeii. During the works a big part of the city saw the light, as the area of the theatres, the Temple of Isis (Iside), the triangular Forum so as several necropolis. When the town was a dominion of the Murat family the excavations of Pompeii knew a positive period thanks to the discovery of the Door of Herculaneum. This episode brought new fame to the town that became an important stop of the Gran Tour. After the Murat family the Bourbon gained the power again and the ruins were used just as a place to show to the hosts of the court. In 1870 the fist map of the entire area was made: it showed how the town was like before the eruption caused by the Vesuvius. In the 20th century many excavations around the area of the Door of Herculaneum were finished and many buildings were restored. In 1980 a violent earthquake caused damages to the area, however the excavation went on.

The archaeological area of Pompeii today

In 1997 the archaeological area gained the important title of UNESCO’s World Heritage Site. In 2010 the area received a loan from EU that intended to preserve the area but during the restorations some parts unfortunately collapsed. Thanks to the discovery of numerous artefacts today we can have a deeper knowledge of art, customs and traditions of more than two millenniums ago. Today the area is run by the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici.
