Land Scuderie del Quirinale present Liberated Art 1937-1947. Masterpieces saved from wara new major exhibition in Rome, curated by Luigi Gallo and Raffaella Morselli and organized by the Scuderie themselves in collaboration with the National Gallery of the Marches, the ICCD – Central Institute for Cataloging and Documentation and the Luce Archive – Cinecittà.
The exhibition offers a selection of over one hundred masterpieces saved during the Second World War, as well as a vast documentary, photographic and audio panorama – all brought together thanks to the collaboration of forty Museums and Institutes – for a compelling and exciting story of a dramatic moment for our country but equally far-sighted and foundational for a new civic consciousness.
A dutiful tribute to the women and men who, in the dramatic war contingency, interpreted their profession under the banner of a common interest, aware of the universality of the heritage to be saved.
“Madonna with child and angels” called “Madonna of Senigallia” (1470-1485) by Piero della Francesca.

And it offers the opportunity to admire masterpieces such as the Discobolus Lancellottithe Danae by Titian, the Our Lady of Senigallia by Piero della Francesca, the Crucifixion by Luca Signorelli.
