The exhibition “ The Search for Beauty. The Cavallini Sgarbi Collection. From Lotto to Morandi ” is an exciting journey spanning four centuries which, from the second half of the fifteenth century, brings together the main works of the famous collection in Palazzo dei Capitani in Ascoli Piceno. Inside the exhibition you can feel the intimate atmosphere of a private collection, the result of Vittorio Sgarbi's passionate love hunt, carried out in tandem with his mother Rina Cavallini, who purchased the works at numerous auctions in every corner of the world .
