L' arma per l’arte
Florence, Palatina Gallery at Palazzo Pitti - Until April 06 2010
The exhibition is devoted in particular to sacred art, and hence to paintings and objects stolen from churches and convents. Consequently this tends to bring to light how, for many different reasons, sites of worship tend to be exposed to the risk of theft and damage and how over time the squad of the Carabinieri specialised in this sector has set its resources and competence at the service of the Church and its enormous artistic heritage.
Opening hours: from 08:15 am to 06:50 pm - closed on Mondays
