“Il gusto dei ferraresi” nel collezionismo di Vittorio Cini

A new event organised by the Institute of Art History at the Castle of Monselice: on Wednesday, 4 June, a conference entitled “Il gusto dei ferraresi” nel collezionismo di Vittorio Cini (“The Taste of the Ferrarese” in the Collecting of Vittorio Cini) will take place.

The conference “Il gusto dei ferraresi” nel collezionismo di Vittorio Cini, curated by Alessandra Pattanaro (University of Padua), one of the leading experts on sixteenth-century Ferrarese painting, will focus on the presentation of the painting Allegoria dell’Abbondanza (Allegory of Abundance), housed at the Castle of Monselice and now attributed to Camillo Filippi. Filippi was a Ferrarese painter whose activity is well documented in the archives of the Este ducal court. The event will explore the particular significance of this work within the collection of Vittorio Cini, a passionate seeker of “Ferrarese things”, inspired by his friend, art critic Nino Barbantini, and the art historian Federico Zeri. It was under their guidance, during the 1950s and 1960s, that Count Cini assembled the remarkable core of his collection of Este painting.
