Italy at 150: Accademia Carrara arrives in Washington (ANSA) Washington, May 25. Eight precious works from the collections of Bergamo’s Accademia Carrara are now on exhibit at the Embassy of Italy in Washington and will remain until April 20, 2012. The exhibit, inaugurated with lectures by Cristina Rodeschini, Director of the Bergamo museum, and Eric Denker, one of the leading experts in Italian art at Washington’s National Gallery, is part of the series of events celebrating the 150th anniversary of Italian unification, adding--as Ambassador of Italy to the USA Giulio Terzi reminds—to the reflection on the national and local contents of Italian culture. “When art comes to institutional contexts, it creates identity and a sense of belonging. It is certainly the case of this invaluable exhibit of paintings from the Carrara at the Embassy of Italy in the United States. It is a way to draw attention to Italian genius and pursue the dialogue between Bergamo’s Accademia Carrara and Washington’s National Gallery of Art” declared Ambassador Terzi. The collaboration between the Embassy of Italy and the two institutions has given life to an unprecedented exhibit. Curators of the exhibit, which highlights a selection of artists from different periods, including Antonio Mancini (late 1800). Francesco Paglia (late 1600), and Luigi Deleidi (late 1700), are Renato Miracco, the Embassy’s Cultural Attaché, and M. Cristina Rodeschini, Director of the Accademia Carrara and of the Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art. To quote Rodeschini, “it is a splendid opportunity for Bergamo, at the celebration of 150 years of Italian Unification, to provide an international public with a preview of the Accademia Carrara at the most important Italian mission in the world. For a year the paintings from the Carrara will also be ambassadors of culture in the world.” .

Carta Dei Servizi Del Museo Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara
CARTA DEI SERVIZI DEL MUSEO PINACOTECA ACCADEMIA CARRARA PREMESSA La Carta dei servizi, costituisce lo strumento attraverso cui il Museo comunica con i suoi visitatori e si confronta con essi. Essa individua i servizi che la Fondazione s’impegna a erogare sulla base del Regolamento del Museo, delle norme vigenti e nel rispetto delle esigenze e delle aspettative dei fruitori, la cui soddisfazione costituisce un obiettivo primario. La Carta della qualità dei servizi risponde dunque all’esigenza di fissare principi e regole nel rapporto tra chi eroga i servizi e i cittadini che ne usufruiscono. Essa costituisce un vero e proprio “patto” con i fruitori, uno strumento di comunicazione e di informazione che permette loro di conoscere i servizi offerti, le modalità e gli standard promessi, di verificare che gli impegni assunti siano rispettati, di esprimere le proprie valutazioni anche attraverso forme di reclamo. L’adozione della Carta dei servizi è una delle iniziative volte a promuovere una più ampia valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale conservato nella Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara e ad adeguare per quanto possibile, in armonia con le esigenze della tutela e della ricerca, l’organizzazione delle attività alle aspettative degli utenti. La Carta sarà aggiornata con cadenza biennale per consolidare i livelli di qualità raggiunti e registrare i cambiamenti positivi intervenuti attraverso la realizzazione di progetti di miglioramento, che possono scaturire anche dal monitoraggio periodico dell’opinione degli utenti. Tale aggiornamento, a cura della Direzione della Fondazione e previa approvazione del CDA, avverrà comunque in caso di: • Modifica della normativa sugli standard dei servizi museali; • Nuove esigenze di servizio; • Suggerimenti e osservazioni degli utenti riconosciute di particolare peso.

Press Release
FRICK TO PRESENT FIRST MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN EXHIBITION ON RENAISSANCE PAINTER GIOVANNI BATTISTA MORONI MORONI: THE RICHES OF RENAISSANCE PORTRAITURE February 21 through June 2, 2019 In Renaissance Italy, one of the aims of portraiture was to make the absent seem present through naturalistic representation of the sitter. This notion—that art can capture an individual exactly as he or she appears—is exemplified in the work of Giovanni Battista Moroni. The artist spent his entire career in and around his native Bergamo, a region in Lombardy northeast of Milan, and left a corpus of portraits that far outnumbers those of his contemporaries who worked in major artistic centers, including Titian in Venice and Bronzino in Florence. Though Moroni never achieved their fame, he innovated the genre of portraiture in spectacular ways. This winter and spring, Giovanni Battista Moroni (b. 1520–24; d. 1579/80), Portrait of a Young Woman, ca. 1575, oil on canvas, private collection; photo: the Frick presents the first major exhibition in North Michael Bodycomb America devoted to his work, bringing together nearly two dozen of Moroni’s most arresting and best known portraits from international collections to explore the innovations and experiments that belie his masterful illusion of recording reality. They will be shown alongside a selection of complementary objects— Renaissance jewelry, textiles, arms and armor, and other luxury items—that exemplify the material and visual world that Moroni recorded, embellished, and transformed. Moroni: Moroni, Giovanni Gerolamo Grumelli, called The Man in Pink, dated 1560, oil on canvas, Fondazione Museo di Palazzo Moroni, Bergamo–Lucretia The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture was organized by Aimee Ng, Associate Curator, Moroni Collection; photo: Mauro Magliani 1 The Frick Collection; Simone Facchinetti, Researcher, Università del Salento, Lecce; and Arturo Galansino, Director General, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence.

Weekend Based in Bergamo, One of Italy's Loveliest
Weekend based in Bergamo, one of Italy’s loveliest cities Three Donizetti operas included at Bergamo’s Teatro Donizetti Festival Visits to three private palaces & Bergamo’s first-rate picture gallery Private recitals at a villa north of Milan Comfortable four-star hotel close to the Teatro Donizetti in Lower Bergamo Bergamo Alto Bergamo, though small, is a most handsome city, divided into two districts, one in the plain and the other perched on a hilltop eminence, Basso and Alto. Situated at the eastern border of Lombardy, history has placed it in the centre of significant events, given it sits between Milan and Venice, the Po Plain and the Alps. Each November Bergamo hosts an annual celebration of the operas of Gaetano Donizetti (1797 – 1848), one of Italy’s most engaging and prolific operatic composers and a Bergamo native. He was a leading exponent of the Bel Canto tradition, as we shall discover during our three exciting opera evenings at Bergamo’s newly restored Teatro Donizetti. To mark the theatre’s reopening, two of the featured operas will be new productions of Marino Faliero and La Fille du Regiment while the festival will be inaugurated with a concert performance of Belisario, with Plácido Domingo in the title role. There is much to see in Bergamo, its wealth made possible by its position on the trade routes criss-crossing the north of the Italian peninsula, long-established since Roman times. It was also one of the most important early medieval Lombard ‘duchies’ and hosted a glittering court. Subsequent periods of civic independence and wider political allegiances are reflected in some lovely late medieval and renaissance churches, chapels and secular buildings, scattered throughout both the upper and lower parts of the city.

Lo è geneticamente; venne infatti istituita dal Credito Bergamasco in occasione di un intervento di restauro, che ha generato la sede della Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo, poi donata alla città per celebrare il centenario della Banca fondatrice. In seguito, la Fondazione ha ampliato le sue attività ai campi dell’arte e della cultura, della salvaguardia del patrimonio storico/artistico, della ricerca medica e scientifica, della solidarietà, con gli attuali quattrocento interventi annui in tali ambiti. In tale logica, essa si è naturalmente innestata nello storico rapporto di prossimità all’Accademia Carra- ra da parte del Credito Bergamasco (ora Banco BPM), caratterizzato nel tempo da importanti interventi nella Pinacoteca, della quale la GAMeC stessa è parte; si pensi, ad esempio, ai numerosi restauri di Sale espositive e di opere realizzati a partire dagli anni Cinquanta del Novecento ovvero alla catalogazione e digitalizzazione di circa 1.800 dipinti della raccolta, tutti fotografati e, per larga parte, disponibili alla con- sultazione online.

Service Charter of the Museo Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara
SERVICE CHARTER OF THE MUSEO PINACOTECA ACCADEMIA CARRARA INTRODUCTION The Service Charter is the instrument by which the Museum communicates and interacts with its visitors. It establishes the services that the Foundation undertakes to provide in accordance with applicable laws and with the Museum Regulations, with a view to meeting the needs and expectations of its users, whose satisfaction is a primary objective. The Quality Service Charter thus responds to the need to establish principles and rules for the relationship between the provider of the services and those who use them. It is indeed a “pact” with its users, a means of communication and information that informs them about the services offered and the methods and standards that are promised. It allows users to ensure that the commitments entered into are respected, and to express their own assessments also in the form of complaints. The adoption of the Charter of Services is designed to ensure broader promotion of the cultural heritage preserved in the Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara and to ensure that, to the greatest extent possible, the organisation of the activities meets the expectations of users, while bearing in mind the need for protection and research. The Charter will be revised every two years in order to consolidate the levels of quality achieved, and to record any positive changes made possible by improvement projects, which may also be based on the periodical monitoring of users’ opinions. The revision, to be drafted by the management of the Foundation and subject to approval by the Board of Directors, will be put into effect in any case in the event of: • Modification of regulations concerning museum services • New service requirements • Users’ suggestions and observations that are deemed to be of particular importance.
