Some absolute masterpieces, never previously seen together, from the personal collection of Vittorio Cini, including paintings by Titian, Lotto, Guardi, Canaletto and Tiepolo will be on show to the public for the first time in the same selection from 8 April to 15 November 2016 on the second floor of the Palazzo Cini Gallery at San Vio, the house museum, once the residence of the great patron.

Thanks to the partnership between the Cini Foundation and Generali, Palazzo Cini re-opens to the public until 15 November 2016.  Generali has been a supporting partner of the Cini Foundation for many years, in the belief that fostering contact with art, music and literature is a way to encourage the development of the community.

Conceived by the Fondazione Giorgio Cini Institute of Art History, directed by Luca Massimo Barbero, the exhibition itinerary gives an idea of the quality of one of the most important 20th-century historic art collections through a selection of around thirty masterpieces. They enable us to gain a better understanding of the taste of Cini as a collector. With the aid of illustrious advisers such as Bernard Berenson, Federico Zeri and Giuseppe Fiocco, he acquired works by some of the most representative artists in the Veneto school from the 14th to the 18th centuries.
