The traveling exhibition of the Pinacoteca Malaspina features around 50 masterpieces carefully selected from the permanent collection, offering a unique opportunity to admire some of its most treasured works.
The Pinacoteca Malaspina, housed within the Civic Museums complex located in the Visconti Castle—an iconic landmark at the heart of Pavia—is one of the city’s most important artist treasures. Founded in 1835 through the donation of the art collection of Marquis Luigi Malaspina di Sannazzaro, it stands as an extraordinary testament to the passion and love for art of one of the most distinguished figures of Lombardy’s noble families.
On the occasion of its temporary closure to the public for major restoration works, the museum’s management has taken the opportunity to organize a traveling exhibition showcasing someof the most important masterpieces from the Pinacoteca Malaspina. The exhibition also serves as a valuable opportunity to promote and enhance Italian art and culture on the international stage, offering the world a glimpse into the talent and mastery of the Italian artists who have shaped the history of art.
The exhibition is curated by Laura Aldovini, director of the Civic Museums of Pavia. She has contributed to numerous publications and exhibition catalogues in Italy and abroad, and has participated in conferences and collaborative projects with major institutions such as the Uffizi’s Department of Prints and Drawings.
She has held adjunct teaching positions at the Università Cattolica, where she taught courses in Iconography and Iconology, as well as a workshop in the History of Drawing and Printmaking.
Highlights include a group of works influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, reflecting the enduring appeal of Leonardesque models in northern Italy, alongside important examples from the Tuscan and Venetian schools, as well as a focused section on Flemish painting. The selected paintings represent a diverse range of iconographies – from portraits to sacred compositions and allegorical themes – and artistic formats, including private devotional works and fragments from fresco cycles.
This exhibition offers a unique opportunity not only to admire masterpieces by artists such as Correggio, Moretto, Giampietrino, Luini, Batoni, and Tiepolo, but also to discover the collections of the museums of Pavia – as they await a complete reinstallation in the Visconti Castle, a place of great historical value and extraordinary charm.
