The Great Museums of the World.
The most authoritative scholars, the spectacular iconography.

Among the proposed masterpieces – selected in nine Roman Art Galleries six of which are public and three private – the reader can see the great Italian painters such as Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Giovanni Bellini, Perugino, Raffaello, Tiziano, and Tintoretto, and the sublime masterpieces by Andrea del Sarto, Lotto, Savoldo, and Caravaggio. And even the 19th and 20th centuries can not fail to move the reader with works ranging from Hayez up to Favretto, from Lega up to Fattori, from Boldini up to Boccioni, Balla, Modigliani, de Chirico, Carrà, and Morandi up to Scuola Romana and to the cuts by Lucio Fontana. Foreign artists who have stayed and painted in Rome are also well represented; Memling, Brueghel il Vecchio, El Greco, Rubens, van Dyck, Velázquez, Lorenese, Poussin, van Gogh, Monet, Klimt, Cézanne, Braque, Mondrian, and Pollock, to name a few.
