The Unipol Group presents the catalogue of its art collection
In the collection, works by Boccioni, Chagall, Braque, Burri, Fontana, and other great artists. From 12 June to 31 August, a selection of works will be exhibited at CUBO Spazio Arte in Bologna.
This morning, at a press conference held at CUBO Spazio Cultura in Bologna, the Unipol Group presented the general catalogue of its art collection, which is the result of several acquisitions from various collections and the merger processes between various insurance companies.
The volume, entitled “Tracce di identità dell’arte italiana. Opere dal patrimonio del Gruppo Unipol” (Traces of Italian art identity. Works from the Unipol Group’s art collection) with texts by Christian Caliandro, derives from a meticulous collection of documentary material that has involved all the Unipol Group offices on Italian national territory bringing together the Group’s entire artistic corpus for the first time. Accompanied by an extensive philological research and subsequent scientific cataloguing, the work performed by CUBO has proven necessary to the subsequent phases of preservation and enhancement of the works of art.
Today, at 5.30 pm, there will also be a public presentation of the catalogue, which will be attended by: Pierluigi Stefanini, Chairman of the Unipol Group, Christian Caliandro, art historian and catalogue editor, Daniela Ferrari, Head of MART exhibitions and collections of Rovereto, Alberto Vacchi, President of Confindustria Emilia Central Area, Matteo Lepore, City Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Bologna, Massimo Mezzetti, Regional Councillor for Culture of the Region Emilia-Romagna.
Unipol’s art collection comprises approximately one hundred works that have allowed the editor - Christian Caliandro - to trace the common thread of our national identity on an extraordinary journey through literature, cinema, politics, and society, whose symbolism is revealed in the works of Alberto Savinio, Mario Sironi, Lucio Fontana, Ennio Morlotti, Alberto Burri, Francesco Lo Savio, Franco Angeli, Paolo Icaro and Domenico Bianchi.
