in the distance God the Father can be seen blessing leaning on the globe the protagonist of the Old Testament episode and recognizable by the horns of light on his head towers in all his majesty from the rocky outcrop inside which was perhaps kept the Ark of the Covenant Other tents visible in the background are reminiscent of the long journey the Israelites were making in the Sin Desert turns to the heavens to thank the angels who are dropping manna to feed the Hebrew people left without food who Moses commanded his people to take manna according to each family’s need: only on the sixth day were they to gather twice as much because they would rest on the feast day The troubled preservation vicissitudes of the Verolanuova canvases are closely linked to two figures who have marked the Italian history of artistic heritage protection: Ettore Modigliani historic director of the Brera Picture Gallery and Superintendent of Lombardy Modigliani in 1911 promoted the first restoration and lining of the two paintings but already the following year it was necessary to redo the work they were rolled onto a large wooden cylinder and given to Modigliani to be sheltered in Rome supervised by Francesco Annoni and Mauro Pellicioli In order to save the two works from the bombings of World War II the paperwork for their transfer was again begun; however the conflict ended before the long negotiations between the Curia of Brescia and the Fabbriceria of Verolanuova led to an agreement In 1952 Pellicioli carried out a further restoration in the course of which the Sacrifice of Melchizedek was once again re-lined while on the Fall of the Manna the operation of color transport was performed the transposition of the pictorial film from the original canvas to a new canvas The traumatic intervention will definitively diverge the conservation future of the Fall of Manna from that of the Melchizedek Sacrifice In addition to Tiepolo’s two masterpieces whose construction dating back to August 10 1633 was promoted by the noble Gambara family which from the mid-14th centuryresse Verolanuova for more than five centuries preserves other valuable altarpieces by Baroque painters such as Andrea Celesti Accompanying the initiative Tiepolo in Verolanuova Face to face with the two restored masterpieces a Silvana Editoriale book-catalogue The restoration of the paintings and their enhancement are part of a broader project of touristand cultural promotionof Verolanuova through the schedule of events entitled “Tiepolo Scomposto” organized by the Municipality of Verolanuova and the proposal of an itinerary between the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia to discover the Tiepolo works "The Tiepolo way in the provinces of Brescia and Bergamo,“ which is part of the program of ”Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023."

“was a 12-month-long work in progress ready to change methodologies and materials continuously in confronting the micro and macro issues that coexisted on 106 square meters of Tiepolo’s paintings The monumental self-supporting structure set up on site allowed us to work simultaneously on the two canvases and explore a reservoir of data on Tiepolo’s technique The one just completed was not a simple ”aesthetic“ restoration but a complex intervention having first to deal with widespread lifting and falling in place of the pictorial material step-by-step reformulated cleaning in approach and mixtures has for the first time completely freed the original Tiepolesque painting - hitherto contaminated by the layering over time of varnishes foreign materials and pictorial interventions - going so far as to recover substantial pieces of the original pictorial film and restore chiaroscuro contrasts with the ”plastic“ care of re-proposing the full-bodied and textural texture of the Tiepolesque brushstrokes providing a proper basis for the subsequent intervention of pictorial integration the demanding operation restored all the lost chromatic portions measuring the full range of Tiepolo’s palette in order to restore an integral reading to the work Particularly challenging because of the monumental size of the works and the unavoidable presence of the scaffolding elements the slight final varnishing brought into play unforeseen technical virtuosity with the aim of discreetly indulging the material and luminous variations in which Tiepolo was a master homologizing layer of varnish would have inevitably extinguished.” “It has been an honor,” says art historian Davide Dotti-coordinating on a scientific and organizational level the restoration of the two spectacular Giambattista Tiepolo canvases preserved in Verolanuova to be counted among the greatest masterpieces of not only Italian ringing colors typical of the brilliant Venetian master’s palette concealed under thick layers of oxidized varnish The visits to the scaffolding and the hours spent ”face to face with Tiepolo,“ the constant dialogue with the restorers and the diagnostic investigations carried out allowed for a better understanding of various aspects of the extraordinary execution technique of the artist the last of the ancient painters and the first of the moderns climbing to a height of nine meters and admiring up close every single character of the two articulated sacred stories paged with exuberant dynamism will be a unique and unrepeatable opportunity that will allow them to create a direct dialogue with Tiepolo’s dreamlike universe marked by the triumph of light and color that becomes the body of art.” has found in art an ally for the proclamation and knowledge of the faith,” recallsFr “In our basilica we have an example of how authors of great value depicted moments from the life of Christ who depicted for the Blessed Sacrament chapel The Fall of the Manna and The Sacrifice of Melchizedek We are therefore indebted to these artists thanks to whom we can admire so much splendor It is our duty today to care for these masterpieces even when This is why we have supported a restoration project that has brought the two Tiepolesque canvases to show themselves today in all their beauty and continue to fulfill their role as an illustrated Bible.” “Art and beauty are an absolute value that any individual in the world can recognize The restoration of the Tiepolo altarpieces,” are the words of Stefano Dotti “represents the real opportunity to enhance Verolanuova rediscovering our roots that find a great reference in the Gambara family Verolanuova citizens consider the two large canvases an almost personal asset of which they are extremely proud and almost jealous With this spectacular intervention Verolanuova becomes an important cultural center hooked to the year of the Brescia-Bergamo Capital of Culture at the national level On this occasion we can finally show everyone that living in Verolanuova and in the Brescian plain is a great opportunity for the many leisure time opportunities and in general for the quality of life for which Verolanuova boasts the record at the provincial level Thanks on behalf of all citizens to the Sponsors of this important initiative.” “It is with true pleasure that the ABAP Superintendency for the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia,” says Angelo Loda “has been involved from the outset in the planning of one of the most significant restoration projects for our territory in recent years and cannot refrain from thanking all those who have contributed to the realization of this worksite.” “The Foundation is particularly proud to have promoted this important intervention,” says Alberta Marniga president of Fondazione della Comunità Bresciana “Thanks to the generosity of the Fidanza Fund established at our Foundation Tiepolo’s extraordinary works can now be admired again in all their splendor A project that is one of the most anticipated events of Bergamo Brescia Capital of Culture 2023 whose schedule involves not only the two capitals but also their respective provincial territories.” “BPER Banca,” stresses Maurizio Veggio Territorial Director of East Lombardy and Triveneto of BPER Bank “wants to interpret to the fullest the meaning of the term ’corporate responsibility’ and is convinced that it is its duty to give back to the community part of the value it creates supporting yes families and businesses but also investing in all areas which significantly affect people’s well-being I recall that our institution preserves and enhances a large Corporate Collection within the ”BPER Banca Gallery“ in Modena and weaves high-profile collaborations with public and private institutions in the territories in which it operates in order to create a dialogue with the territories themselves and to stimulate reflection and sensitivity on art how equally important it is to support all those entities foundations aimed at enhancing those works of art that have the right to be ’seen’ and that testify to the history art and beauty of the Italian provinces.” Plasteurope.com is a business
