Santa Umiltà da Faenza e le storie della sua vita
Una sala della Pinacoteca di Faenza con Santa Umiltà
From Florence to Faenza: a masterpiece of the Uffizi Galleries, the great Polyptych with the stories of Saint Humility by the Gothic painter Pietro Lorenzetti (Siena 1280-1348) - just re-emerged in all its splendour after a complex restoration that lasted over four years, is on display from tomorrow in the city of which Umiltà is the patron saint.
The exhibition, entitled 'Per Immagini e Colori. The story of Santa Umiltà da Faenza in the Uffizi's medieval masterpiece', is hosted in the Sala del Medioevo e del Rinascimento of the Pinacoteca Comunale; it is in this context that the monumental work of art returns visible to the public for the first time following the complex restoration work to which it was subjected by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure and Studio Scarpelli of Florence.
