From here it is precisely in the ropes of the Luigi Rovati Foundation and its museum, to present the relationship between this ancient culture and modern and contemporary artists ».
The exhibition moves, also this time, within the preparation of the museum collection, with which it remains in constant dialogue, respecting that creative classes which is one of the most stimulating characteristics of the museum project. And if on the first floor Paolo Gioli’s Polaroids are one of the most interesting pieces, in the hypogeum the dialogue between the Etruscan sculpture and, for example, the objects of Gio Ponti, feeds in a profitable way the ancient-modern relationship which is at the heart of the Rovati Foundation.
