Rubens in Genoa until January 22, 2023 at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa
In Rubens in Genoa, over twenty paintings by Rubens stand out, coming from European and Italian museums and collections that, combined with those already present in the city, reach a number not seen in Genoa since the late eighteenth century; since when, that is, the crisis of the aristocracy with the repercussions of the French Revolution initiated an inexorable diaspora of masterpieces towards collections around the world.
