Antonello's itineraries. Artistic and cultural connections between Italy and Europe
ANTONELLO derives its name from three key figures of the Renaissance in Southern Italy: the painter Antonello da Messina, the sculptor Antonello Gagini, and the prince of Salerno Antonello Sanseverino. Through their biographies and works, the three Antonellos fostered the development of connections and exchanges between the various centers of the South and the islands, within the broader context of the rest of Italy and Europe. Download the itineraries and travel with Antonello to rediscover an extraordinary, but still little-known heritage.
