Acquired by Fondazione Cariverona Pan e Siringa by Sebastiano Ricci. It will be reunited with the Ricci cycle in the Palazzo Fulcis

Pan and Syrinx, a masterpiece by Sebastiano Ricci, has been acquired by Fondazione Cariverona on loan to the City of Belluno for Palazzo Fulcis. The work recently appeared on the market and was acquired by Fondazione Cariverona with the aim of reuniting it with the other works from the artist’s cycle already housed in the palace. This will give unity to the collection of Sebastiano Ricci’s paintings, allowing for an integrated reading and maximum usability and enhancement.

"Our Foundation is dedicated to its communities not only through its disbursement action but increasingly also through the intelligent enhancement of its containers and the relevant artistic heritage of our collections. This operation is therefore fully consistent with the institutional purposes of promoting culture set up by Fondazione Cariverona and marks a point of arrival in the project of enhancing the value of Palazzo Fulcis, after the long and complex negotiations that saw us involved in the purchase of the work Pan e Siringa by Sebastiano Ricci," said the president of Fondazione Cariverona, Alessandro Mazzucco.

“Another, fundamental, piece of our history is recovered and returns home, to the city and the palace for which it was conceived, joining the other extraordinary canvases by Sebastiano Ricci already present and going to complement the cycle created for the Fulcis family, a masterpiece of 18th-century Europe. With this operation, the other loans granted by Fondazione Cariverona, and the donations received since the inauguration of the new museum, Palazzo Fulcis continues in the best possible way its path of growth and enrichment of the exhibition and cultural proposal,” added the mayor of Belluno, Jacopo Massaro.

At the conclusion of the exhibition Sebastiano Ricci. Rivals and Heirs. Works of the Eighteenth Century by Fondazione Cariverona, two exhibited works from the collection will be granted storage in the permanent itinerary of the Palazzo Fulcis museum: these are the Portrait of a Lady with Handmaids by Antonio Pellegrini, a portrait from the English period of Ricci’s great rival, and the Landscape with Pilgrim and Washerwomen by Alessandro Magnasco and Anton Francesco Peruzzini.

It will also be confirmed that three other works, which have long been on view in the permanent exhibition, will remain on loan to the Museo Civico di Belluno: Sebastiano Ricci’s Man and Satyr, Domenico Falce ’s Perspective Plan of the City of Belluno, and Baruffa tra zatteri e biri by Pietro Brancaleoni and Antonio Lazzarini.
