Tino di Camaino, Beato Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Sandro Botticelli” will enable the public to admire: “Madonna and Child” by Sandro Botticelli, “The adoration of the Magi” by Beato Angelico, “Madonna and Child" by Filippo Lippi and the sculpture “Charity” by the Sienese Tino di Camaino.

Breathtaking beauty
Guided tour
The traditional Christmas exhibition at Palazzo Marino examines the theme of beauty from various different angles: from the tender gaze of a mother towards her child with Filippo Lippi and Botticelli, to the refined artistic virtuosity of Beato Angelico, through to the beauty of the act of giving in the marble work of Tino di Camaino. This immersion into the realm of beauty continues at Gallerie d’Italia with the exhibition “From the Medici to the Rothschilds. Patrons, collectors, philanthropists”, which takes us through to the art of the 20th century and focuses on the untiring work of patrons and collectors of paintings, literary works and music designed to satisfy the yearning for beauty pertaining to all of us.
When: every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 2 December 2022 to 15 January 2023 at 17:00, except for 24/12, 25/12 and 31/12.
