Among the most famous are the aforementioned Last Supper, now preserved in Badia Polesine and originally located in the refectory of San Benedetto in Polirone, where the frescoes framing the Last Supper, usually given instead to Correggio, have also been attributed to Bonsignori. Another important work is theAllegory of Faith, kept in the abbey church of the same complex. In Verona, in the Museo di Castelvecchio, are two organ doors with a scene of the Annunciation, from the church of San Pietro Martire in Murano and also attributed to Bonsignori. Finally, a small Christ Carrying the Cross on panel, signed by the artist, is in the Olomouc Museum at Šternberk Castle in the Czech Republic. Due to thescarcity of works, it is difficult to trace Bonsignori’s complete stylistic evolution. However, the painting acquired by the Ducal Palace provides a fundamental record of his artistic development. One of the most interesting elements is the image of the Virgin drying clothes by the fire, an unusual scene that is more common in depictions of the Nativity of the Virgin. This detail perhaps reflects a sensitivity of the artist to the everyday and familiar world, which is intertwined with the sacred message of the work. The background of the painting also reveals a certain uniqueness, with a landscape reminiscent of the atmosphere of Nordic landscapes, featuring a towering cliff on the left and a distant city in the center. The colors of the sky, in reddish tones, further enrich the atmosphere of the painting, giving the scene a fantastic, almost visionary dimension. With the addition of this painting to its collection, the Ducal Palace is enriched with an important testimony to Italian Renaissance painting. Girolamo Bonsignori’s work, with its stylistic refinement and iconographic complexity, represents a valuable contribution to the city’s artistic heritage. The decision to invest in such a rare and significant work confirms the museum’s commitment to the preservation and enhancement of Renaissance art. For the public and scholars, this acquisition offers a unique opportunity to take a close look at the work of a little-known but highly significant artist whose works represent an important chapter in the history of Italian art. Palazzo Ducale thus confirms itself as a dynamic institution attentive to the enhancement of its artistic heritage, always ready to seize opportunities for cultural enrichment. 19-May-2022 Last updated on 20-May-2022 at 08:10 GMT It said the major investment has enabled the creation of a new production line, now in operation, making the factory one of the largest plant-based drinks producers in Europe.  The factory, which produces organic plant-based drinks for brands including Bjorg, Bonneterre, Isola Bio, Abbott Kinney’s and EcoCesta, employs 163 people at the site that extends to over 14,000m2.  The investment in its Italian site will enable it to produce an additional 27m litres of plant-based beverages per year. This is a 30% increase in production capacity. The company said its aim is to make the Badia Polesine site a flagship of Industry 4.0. Its investment focus has been on automation, including the implementation of an internal pallet flow management system via laser-guided vehicles. A reorganisation of the factory’s production workshop has also allowed for increased automation – with 50% of its intralogistics requiring no human intervention, and a fully automated production flow between bottling and loading pallets into trucks. The new installation also reduces the use of plastic by 15% and optimises transport with the elimination of 58 tons of CO2, it said.  The production site operates exclusively on renewable energies and has also been equipped with sustainable solutions, including the implementation of a system of total circularity of water. This means the industrial washing water undergoes biological treatment with activated sludge and is then reused in agricultural production processes. There is also a co-generator, which recovers energy from the factory’s production processes and also supplies the site with 40% of its energy. Across five production lines, 120m litres of plant-based drinks leave the factory each year, 50% of which are destined for France, where Ecotone generates 60% of its turnover. Christophe Barnouin, chief executive officer of Ecotone, said: “This major investment aims to strengthen Ecotone’s industrial competitiveness in a growing market for plant-based beverages. With a strong presence throughout Europe, just like its brands, with nine production sites, including two in France, Ecotone is committed to its values and leading the way towards more innovation and sustainability in the food industry. "I would like to pay tribute to the unwavering mobilization of the teams over the past three years, which has enabled the project to succeed and make the Badia Polesine factory a European industrial flagship.” Molson Coors completes £13m cider plant modernisation project 16-May-2022By Gwen RidlerMolson Coors has completed a £13m modernisation project at the Aspall Cyder production plant in Suffolk.
