Sculptures on the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II
Beginning today, VIVE, the association that oversees Vittoria and Palazzo Venezia, launched a new initiative to restore the sculptures on the monument to Victor Emanuel II, or Vittoriano, thanks to funding from Bulgari. The project reflects Bulgari’s link to the Eternal City and devotion for preserving its treasures for future generations. The site will be open so visitors can see progress as it is being made, as well as follow the restoration online on the Institute’s site.
Cultured and lovers of the arts, the Farneses put together a vast collection which included paintings, ancient sculptures, sketches, drawings and manuscripts. Today much of it is brought together in an exhibition.
