Unique and very valuable works can be admired on a new exhibition in Rome, Giotto e il Trecento (Giotto and the fourteenth century), a chance to have an interesting approach to the middle ages art. The huge exhibition at the Complesso del Vittoriano displays 150 masterpieces from museums around the world.

Giotto was the first Italian artist to overcome the tendencies of Byzantine painting of his time by exploring what eventually would lead to the great artistic revolution of the Renaissance. Profoundly innovative, the art of this great master was not indifferent to their peers, and in his time enjoyed great fame.

Among the great works on display there are masterpieces of great painters of the   fourteenth century as Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti, Simone Martini, Giovanni Pisano, Arnolfo di Cambio, Tino di Camaino and others, as well as jewelry, wooden sculptures and illuminated manuscripts. This represents the classic and gothic influences that shaped a new taste in art and renovated the canons of expression and will be presented in different sections.
