closed Federico da Montefeltro and Francesco di Giorgio: Urbino crossroads of the arts

The show

The great exhibition celebrating the sixth anniversary of the birth of the Duke will be inaugurated on 23 June in the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche . As many as 80 works on display also from European countries and the United States .

Two and a half months after the inauguration of the first six rooms recovered on the second floor of the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino, the spaces of the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche are once again the protagonists of a new, highly anticipated inauguration.


The inauguration of the exhibition Federico da Montefeltro and Francesco di Giorgio: Urbino crossroads of the arts is scheduled for Thursday 23 June, at 5 pm, curated by Alessandro Angelini, Gabriele Fattorini and Giovanni Russo, which offers 80 works - including paintings, sculptures , drawings, medals, detached frescoes and codes - one third of which came from abroad.

It will be an interesting journey through a crucial period both for the history of Urbino and its court, and for the history of Italian art, which owes a lot to those years.


"The Duke Federico - says Luigi Gallo, Director of the National Gallery of the Marche - was able to transform Urbino into a capital of the Renaissance: at his court artists and writers of different origins and backgrounds met, whose mutual influences generate a cultural climate that will have repercussions in the decades to come. That environment, which saw painters such as Piero della Francesca, Giusto di Gand, Pedro Beruguete and Luca Signorelli, the architects Luciano Laurana, Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Donato Bramante meet, was the humus from which Raphael's genius flourished and on which, Baldasar Castiglione, shaped the Cortegiano ».

The exhibition will be enriched by the catalog published by Marsilio, which in addition to the photos and cards of the works, will bear the texts of the three curators, the Director of the National Gallery of Marche Luigi Gallo and other essays.
