The Savoy on tour to the city: screenings, tests and inspections on the territory

In order to enable the complex restoration work in view of the final opening of the new headquarters, planned for December 2014, the Savoy Gallery is closed, but it opens in all the Piedmont region.
The Royal Polo proceeds in compliance with the schedule; the last, crucial piece, the picture gallery of the Gallery, moved to the new wing of the Royal Palace, completes the major project with which the city of Turin will present the major events of 2015, with the Expo and the Exposition of the SS Shroud. The Royal Polo is an important resource for the territory that bears the Piedmont on the stage of culture and international tourism. With approaching the completion of the project and with the intensification of the work it did not want to deprive the visitor the opportunity to enjoy the masterpieces of Savoy.
On May 29 opens the exhibition entitled "The Savoy on tour to the city: screenings, tests and inspections on the territory", that involves 14 cities of Piedmont. Briefly, 18 exhibitions open at the same time, all starring the works of the Savoy Gallery.
Five exhibitions are held in Turin, one at Palazzo di Città, four in the museums of the state, that are Royal Palace, Royal Armoury, Palazzo Carignano and Villa della Regina; the remaining in the thirteen major cities of Piedmont, namely Alba, Alessandria, Asti, Biella, Casale Monferrato, Cuneo, Domodossola, Ivrea, Novara, Saluzzo, Varallo, Verbania and Vercelli.
The project is promoted by the Regional Directorate for Cultural Heritage and Landscape of Piedmont and the Superintendence for the Historical, Artistic and Ethno-anthropological Heritage of Piedmont. Designed by the Superintendent Edith Gabrielli, under the coordination of the Director of the Savoy Gallery Anna Maria Bava, it's expected that every single show is carried by the official of the same area of the Superintendent, in accordance with the civic authorities and with the support of Compagnia di San Paolo.
More than 50 works involved and all of the first floor. In addition to sculptures, like a nice group of Egyptian antiquities include paintings by Italian and foreign, Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Martin Spanzotti Gaudenzio Ferrari, Sandro Botticelli, Sodoma, Antiveduto Gramatica, Giovanni Baglione, Nicolo Musso Cerano, Orazio Gentileschi, Guido Reni, Anton van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas Poussin, Rembrandt, until Francesco Solimena, Anton Raphael Mengs , Pompeo Batoni and Jules Cesar Denis van Loo.
If the exposure of Portrait of Charles Albert of Horace Vernet in the Swiss Hall of the Royal Palace is a fitting tribute to the founder of the gallery, the other shows instead obey to some guidelines, also the result of a fruitful comparison with the individual administrations. The first guideline is represented by the continuity with the culture of the area. It includes exhibitions focusing on artists who were born in a particular city or who have left one or more significant works , such as , for example, Martin Spanzotti in Ivrea , Gaudenzio at Varallo , Gaudenzio and the same Sodom in Vercelli, Nicholas Musso in Casale Monferrato , Cerano in Novara . A second guideline focuses on the taste of a particular customer. It says so on the lunge Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy, Villa della Regina, the Royal Armoury of Carlo Emanuele III, or the latest Riccardo Gualino in his hometown of Biella. A third guideline is intended to establish dialogues unpublished , on the linguistic and iconographic , including works - or sequences of work - and in different contexts than usual. Hence the exposure in the Marble Hall of the City Palace in Turin consist of two sets respectively by van Eyck, Fra Angelico and Schiavone and Rembrandt, Poussin and Kidneys ; or that of the South in the Apartment Palazzo Carignano in Turin again , some of the masterpieces of seventeenth-century figurative , by Gentileschi to van Dyck. It was also from here originates the inclusion of the group in the Egyptian Old Kingdom Palatium Vetus of Alexandria, the Memling Palazzo Mazzetti at Asti, Giovanni Baglione Cavassa Casa Saluzzo, dell'Antiveduto Gramatica in the Town Hall of Alba, the Francesco Solimena in the Civic Museum of Palazzo San Francesco in Domodossola , of Batoni and Mengs in the Civic Museums of Cuneo and van Loo in the Villa Giulia in Verbania.
Youngest of a precise and determined museological perspective , developed to strengthen relations between the museum and the land, The Savoy on tour to the city, however, seeks very specific goals. On the one hand, it aims to ensure public enjoyment of some of the most significant works from the collection in Turin during the summer 2014, when the new wing of the Royal Palace will undergo a series of works on the structures and systems, depending on the its reopening stable. On the other hand , especially in a delicate phase for the life of the country seemed and seems right that the Administration of Cultural Heritage would provide an effective contribution to the common effort to promote the entire Piedmont on the hard ridge of tourism, both domestic and outside, going to strengthen local programming which is already now a rich and satisfying. Only in this way, by action of a public service able to represent and involve the entire chain to limit the administrative and civil society as a whole, it seems possible and still maintain the vital principles of integrated territorial protection, which aimed to protect the whole context, rather than just the individual good.
