Treasures from the Collection in Mantua: An Artistic and Historical Journey

Mantua, a city renowned for its profound cultural heritage, is poised to host an exhibition of exquisite beauty. From June 5 to 9, the evocative Sala delle Colonne of the Museo Diocesano Francesco Gonzaga will present “Treasures from the Collection,” an exhibition inviting a journey through centuries of ancient art. This initiative, reprised after the remarkable success of its previous edition – which saw exhibited works become part of Italy’s national artistic heritage – promises to uphold its high cultural standing.

The exhibition, curated by the Milanese gallery Ars Antiqua, will span from early sculpture to ancient painting, encompassing the Renaissance through to the 19th century. Special emphasis will be placed on sacred art, featuring masterpieces by renowned artists such as Giuseppe Cesari, known as Cavalier d’Arpino, Cesare Fracanzano, and Filippo Lauri. The display will also offer broad insights into other genres, from the captivating still lifes of Antonio Rasio and Pietro Paolo Cennini, to genre scenes and portraiture, with significant works by Santi di Tito and Lorenzo Delleani. A notable highlight will be Alessandro Antoniani’s previously unseen Battle of Guastalla (1734), holding great historical significance.

The experience will be further enriched by two evening events. On June 5, a public gathering will feature conferences and cultural insights. Experts such as Dr. Federico Bulgarini will guide visitors through preparatory sketches by great masters, including Giulio Romano, while Architect Gianluca Nicolini will present his essay on Ludovico Antonio David. Dr. Monica Bianchi will conclude by exploring the intriguing connection between astrology and art. This offers a unique opportunity to delve into the depths of art history, within one of Italy’s most captivating cities.
