Vasari. The Theater Of Virtues

At the end of 2024, more than 100 masterpieces were put on display at the Gallery of Modern Contemporary Art and the former Church of St. Ignazio in Arezzo, for an exhibition event with an international scope that represented the culmination of “Arezzo. The City of Vasari”, the program of events organised to celebrate Vasari in his hometown on the occasion of the 450th anniversary of his death. Unpublished works, monumental works and loans from some of the world s most prestigious museums and private collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Albertina Museum in Vienna and the Musée du Louvre in Paris, as well as national treasures held by the Uffizi Galleries in Florence and other Italian museums were included. The monumental works - which rarely leave their original locations represent some of the most significant masterpieces of Vasari’s artistic production. This catalogue was published to accompany the exhibition.
