Standard Itinerary
The Complesso Monumentale di San Francesco in Cuneo opens its doors to a new chapter in the great story of Italian art. Fondazione CRC and Intesa Sanpaolo, with the organizational support of MondoMostre, present an exhibition that brings to Cuneo 25 masterpieces from the Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica in Rome — Palazzo Barberini and Galleria Corsini —, among the most important public collections of Italian and European art from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century. The itinerary reconstructs the golden age of the Roman Baroque, when Rome became an international crossroads of artists and languages under the pontificate of Urban VIII, a patron and commissioner without equal. On display, works by Bernini, Gentileschi, Rubens, Guercino, Guido Reni, Annibale Carracci and Domenichino tell of the protagonists, ideas and masterpieces of one of the most extraordinary centuries in the history of art.
