Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Alexis Gregory Collection

The Giorgio Cini Foundation, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and Venetian Heritage, a United States-based non-profit organization whose mission is to raise funds for the preservation of Venetian art and culture, are presenting Alexis Gregory’s collection of Renaissance and Baroque bronzes, recently donated to the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University. Through the continuing collaboration between Venetian Heritage and the Cini Foundation, the exhibition – alongside masterpieces from the Foundation’s collections of paintings, drawings, medieval illuminations and rare books – has already travelled to the Israel Museum of Jerusalem (7 June – 9 September 2000) and the Goulandris Foundation of Athens (4 October 2000 – 19 March 2001). It is now being shown at the Gallery of Palazzo Cini at San Vio, which houses the collections of Tuscan paintings and art objects once belonging to the Foundation’s founder, Count Vittorio Cini, and donated by one of his daughters, and an important collection of panels by Renaissance Ferrarese masters on loan by another of the founder’s heirs.
