Milan is home to the Pinacoteca di Brera, one of Italy’s most prestigious art galleries which contains a pivotal collection of Italian paintings from the 13th to the 20th century, including works by Caravaggio, Raphael, Mantegna and Piero della Francesa. It also shares history and a site with the Accademia, an art school not unlike NAS. As from September 2024, the Pinacoteca di Brera is also responsible for the management of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. Join us as we uncover the fascinating details of not only this esteemed institution and the current restoration of the Last Supper with visiting scholar Prof. Chiara Rostagno.
Chiara Rostagno is Deputy Director of the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, Head of Strategic Directional Projects and Curator of the Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department, as well as Executive Director of the National Museum of the Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci. Rostagno is the author of more than 60 papers and publications and her latest book “Art and Nature. The Beauty of the Earth and Life”, is the result of more than two decades of research on issues of art and landscape conservation.
