From factory to art

A project by D. Dotti supported by Confindustria Giovani

I am pleased to have given my contribution to a project which, by joining artists with the productive substratum of the city, has the goal to the restoration of a wonderful work of art such as The Coronation of the Virgin and Saints by Moretto.

“Forty-five companies associated with Confindustria, active in different product sectors, made their industrial products available to thirteen contemporary artists from Brescia, in the way that they became an integral part of nineteen works of art, unique pieces created specifically for the intervention [ ...] The project, through the auction of the works, wants to obtaining funds to be allocated to the restoration of the magnificent and delicate panel depicting the Coronation of the Virgin with the Saints Michael the Archangel, Joseph, Francis and Nicholas, located in the Church of Saints Nazaro and Celso of Brescia” (D. Dotti)

The names of the artists are given below:

Michele Battagliola, Stefano Bombardieri, Monica Carrera, Emma Castellani, Francesca Damiano, Maurizio Donzelli, Alice Faloretti, Edoardo Ferrari, Manuel Gardina, Quirino Gnutti, Demis Martinelli, Felice Martinelli, Paola Pezzi.

The exhibition will be open to public from 28 October to 19 November in the Museum opening hours, at Museo Diocesano in via Gasparo da Salò, 13 in Brescia. The auction of the works is scheduled for November 15th at 6.30 pm, at the Diocesan Museum.
