The long-awaited exhibition dedicated to Titian, one of the leading exponents of the Italian Renaissance, is coming to Brescia. The exhibition, starting from the Polyptych created by Titian for the bishop Altobello Averoldi and kept in Brescia in the church of the Saints Nazaro and Celso, aims at investigating the connection between the artistic cultures of Brescia and Venice during the sixteenth century.

Divided into six sections, it presents over fifty masterpieces, coming from important Italian and international museums, such as the Pinacoteca di Brera, the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest and the National Gallery in Washington.
