FOGGIA – Another jewel of Apulian art returns to the enjoyment of the community. This is the large canvas that adorns the Church of Jesus and Mary, in the Convent of the Friars Minor in Foggia, the work of the painter Benedetto Brunetti, who created it in 1674. The work, which was returned to its original beauty after a precious and long work carried out by the restorer Leonardo Maddalena, was delivered with a ceremony that took place this morning. The canvas was restored by the Banca Popolare Pugliese Foundation – Giorgio Primiceri.
“The restoration of this large canvas testifies to the closeness of our credit institution to the Foggia community – underlined the General Director of the Banca Popolare Pugliese, Mauro Buscicchio – and continues in the fruitful dialogue that our Bank has established with those who care about the recovery of the highest expressions of the art of Puglia as testimony to the history of a region which continues, precisely through the signs of its artistic history, to be a cultural and tourist reference point for Southern Italy”.
