The equestrian statue of Cangrande I della Scala at the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona. The result of a recent conservative maintenance intervention, which is the first carried out with a private partner. This is the collaboration between the Verona Civic Museums and the Sartori Winery.
A bond lasting 12 years, with four interventions every three years sponsored by the Veronese Winery with a contribution from 38 thousand euros. The funding will allow, until 2034, the cleaning and maintenance service of the monument, ensuring the city and its visitors the conservation and optimal usability of the work.
“This new-born synergy between museums and private citizens – highlights thecouncilor for culture Francesca Briani – contribute to a virtuous approach to the perception of cultural heritage, so that art and culture do not learn the exclusive prerogative of experts or bodies responsible for their protection and management. A process of collaboration and active participation of citizens in the common good, which contributes to creating a wider awareness of the artistic heritage, as an integral part of the cultural identity of the community“.

“It is the realization of a project, perhaps even of a dream – Points out Sartori -. The equestrian statue, which makes up the Sartori brand, is part of my life. Today we had the opportunity to ‘adopt’ it in its original form to take care of it in favor of the whole city. It is the closing of a circle and a gesture of gratitude towards Verona and a symbol that has brought luck to our family“.
