Dettagli dell´evento
The Association of Friends of the Hermitage Museum Italy was founded in Florence, in Palazzo Vecchio, on 4 July 2012, in the presence of the Director of the Hermitage, Prof. Mikhail B. Piotrovsky, as an integral part of the International Hermitage Friends’ Club.
Its main goals are the protection and promotion of the extraordinary artistic heritage of the famous Saint Petersburg museum, with particular attention to Italian art, and the strengthening of cultural ties between Italy and Russia. To pursue these aims, the Association produces exhibitions, publications and events and organises seminars, conferences and trips.
Fundraising for the restoration of works held in the museum, with particular regard to those by Italian artists.
Organising exhibitions in Italy and Russia, from curation to the loan of works, and managing new donations.
Conferences, concerts, seminars, lectures and cultural trips reserved for members, in Italy and in Saint Petersburg.
Publishing, catalogues and scholarly publications devoted to the collections and to the dialogue between the two countries.
Every year, on the occasion of Hermitage Day, the Association organises its traditional trip to Saint Petersburg: a unique opportunity to visit the palaces and treasures of the Tsars, enriched by the enchanting Hermitage Friends Gala Evening.
The welcome is private and exclusive: the Museum closes its doors to the public and opens them only to members of the Associations that represent it around the world.
Founded at the wish of Catherine II as a “hermitage” adjoining the Winter Palace, the Hermitage today holds masterpieces from Leonardo and Titian to Matisse and Picasso.
