The Vatican Museums in Russia for the first time
An exhibition of forty-two Vatican masterpieces will be held from 25 November 2016 to 1 March 2017 in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow.
“Roma Aeterna” is the title of the exhibition, which will take to the Russian capital for the first time a large number of works of inestimable value from the permanent collection of the Vatican Pinacoteca in the Pope’s Museums.
“The Vatican Museums, by granting these loans of extraordinary importance, from Bellini to Raphael, from Melozzo to Caravaggio, wish to express an act of gratitude with regard to Russia’s long-standing love of Roma Aeterna”, stated the Director Antonio Paolucci.
