For Sylvain Bellenger, director of the Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco, said, “With Borsa Italiana opens, I hope, a new era for Capodimonte.

Giovanni Lombardi, the museum’s advisor for fundraising and business relations, said, "The Capodimonte Museum is a source of pride for Naples and for the entire country and is an asset of humanity, and I am pleased that Borsa Italiana has chosen to hold the third edition of Rivelazioni here. This project has an important value for pmi, which can offer a great contribution to the enhancement of our artistic and cultural heritage, in a logic of sustainable investment for the company and the country. Revelations simplifies the relationship between company and museum, adding value to both parties, proving to be an optimal platform for pmi patronage activities."
