Intesa Sanpaolo gives a Bronzino painting to Turin for the Christmas holidays

The newly restored work, which comes from the National Museum of Capodimonte, is intended as a gift from Intesa Sanpaolo to the city of Turin on the occasion of the Christmas holidays.

Bronzino’s painting focuses on the two motherhoods: that of the Madonna and that of the elderly Elizabeth. In fact, at the center of the scene is the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus on her knees, intent on playing with St. John. Behind her is Saint Elizabeth.

During the exhibition it will be possible to admire"a-cromactive," an installation created especially for the skyscraper as part of Luci d’Artista.
