LateRooms.com - Check Out Caravaggio e la Fuga During Milan Holidays

Caravaggio e la fuga is on display at the Villa del Principe, which may appeal to art fans staying in Milan.

2010-08-28

MILAN, ITALY, August 28, 2010 (Press-News.org) Art enthusiasts booked into some of the luxury hotels Milan has to offer could take trip to Genoa to see Caravaggio e la fuga.

The exhibition, which is running until September 26th, offers people a chance to see a masterpiece by the great Italian artist in the beautiful setting of the Villa del Principe.

Visitors to the venue will find many frescoes to admire in addition to Caravaggio's work, with a stunning garden also on show at the museum.

Caravaggio e la fuga - known in English as Rest on the Flight into Egypt - was bought by the Doria-Pampohilj family for next to nothing in 1650, according to the Associated Press.

Speaking to the newswire, tour leader at the art space Laura Sciove pointed out that the display of this painting commemorates the 400th anniversary of the painter's death and highlights what an exceptional place the venue is to visit.

"The villa was reopened to the public in 1997 and each year we carry out new work to return the building as well as the gardens to their original glory," she was quoted as saying.

It costs EUR12 (GBP9.80) to enter the Villa del Principe, with the building opening between 10:00 and 17:00 local time every day except Thursday, when it is closed.

For more information on this event visit the Villa del Principe website or contact the venue on +39 010 255 509.

Industry analysts cite a number of factors that led to the increase, including: - Drug repackaging - Rush to produce ...

Harry Shuford, chief economist for the National Council on Compensation Insurance, noted, "When the rate of hiring increases, we see some upward pressure on injury rates and frequency." Historically, higher injury rates occur among newer employees - often because they are more accident prone ...
