Madonna con Gesù Bambino e Santi
16th-century tempera on panel by Bartolomeo Neroni (Il Riccio), depicting the Virgin Mary and Child with Saints Paul, Bartholomew, Lucy, and Sigismund. Both the painting and its 18th-century frame need careful conservation.
On June 9th, a team of experts carried out the first safety intervention to prevent further damage and conducted a thorough assessment of the painting's condition, ahead of the full restoration. Once the funds are collected we will be able to begin the restoration process.
(The exact figure from the fundraising for the 2026 activities will be communicated upon approval of the relevant final financial statement.)
