Fake affair at Modigliani exhibition, visitors demand refunds

There seems to be no peace for the exhibition on Amedeo Modigliani held last year in Genoa and where, according to the expert report filed in court by Isabella Quattrocchi, several fake paintings were exhibited. The very idea of having seen non-authentic works has aroused the ire of visitors (we are talking about 90,000 people) who have asked for the tickets to be refunded.

Representatives of Assoutenti and the Casa del Consumatore met with President Luca Bizzarri and Director Pietro Da Passano of the Fondazione Palazzo Ducale to define a series of indications and answers for users who intend to obtain compensation. The ticket will be compensated by MondoMostre Skira, the company that organized the exhibition, which, however, makes it known that compensation will be paid only after the non-authenticity of the paintings is definitively ruled.

In addition, the toll-free number 800199633 and e-mail rimborsi@consumatoriliguria.it have been made available to respond to visitors’ inquiries. Meanwhile, investigations continue: there are three people who appear to have been charged with aggravated fraud.
