Minister Sangiuliano announces major exhibition at the Quirinale featuring the San Casciano bronzes


During the Quante Storie program on Rai3, Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano announced that a major exhibition will be held at the Quirinale with the San Casciano bronzes, perhaps as early as May.

"We are going to have a major exhibition at the Quirinale with the bronzes from San Casciano, which I hope will open in early May," Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano announced on Rai3 during the program Quante Storie.

The minister was referring to the major discovery last November in the excavation of the Roman sanctuary of San Casciano dei Bagni of as many as twenty-four bronze statues in an excellent state of preservation. This is the largest deposit of statues in ancient Italy and the only one whose entire context can be reconstructed.



“The Ministry,” Sangiuliano added, "is acquiring a building in San Casciano to put the finds on display, but first I would like to have them travel. For example to my Naples, to Milan, to Venice, before they go to the final sites." Indeed, there is talk of buying a 16th-century palace in the historic center of the Tuscan town to permanently display the objects found in the excavation of Bagno Grande.

“Experts are restoring these finds,” the minister concluded. “In May excavation will resume and probably more will be found.”
