The Charm of Antiquity

This exhibition offers the opportunity to bring to the attention of a wide audience a part of the rich art collection of the Intesa Sanpaolo bank, formed over time by bringing together distinct funds belonging to the most prestigious banks in Italy.

Presenting various objects. from decorated vessels from Ancient Greece and Magna Graecia to paintings from the 17th-19th centuries and marble and bronze sculptures, the exhibition evokes one of the most fascinating themes in the history of art and artistic taste: the charm exercised, over the centuries, by Antiquity, seen as an absolute model of ideal beauty, considered, until the threshold of modernity, valid for any era and any place.
