Saturnino Gatti and his studio (16th century)

CYCLE: Reintegrations: from deposits to the visitor route
SPEAKER: Michele Maccherini
DATE: Thursday 12 June, 6 pm

The panel depicts a fascinating and rare iconography linked to the cult of the Madonna in a rural context, regulated by the alternation of seasonal work.

Coming from the sanctuary of the Madonna della Noce in the Latium countryside, the work has been attributed to Saturnino Gatti, a protagonist of the Renaissance season in the Abruzzo and Apennine areas. The painting has been catalogued by Dr. Francesca Mari.

Michele Maccherini has been Professor of Modern Art History at the University of L'Aquila since 2004. Previously, he directed the civic museums of San Gimignano. Currently, he is president of the degree course in Cultural Heritage and referent for the Polo Museale of the University of L'Aquila. His research focuses on 16th and early 17th century Sienese painting, early 17th century Roman art and collecting, and L'Aquila art in the modern age.
