Russian Orthodox icons are exhibited at ‘Mondo Antico’ in Verona. The exhibition was sponsored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to mark its 60th anniversary.
A part of the Orler collection, one of the richest private collections of Russian icon-painting widely known in Italy is exhibited, which includes some two hundred masterpieces of Orthodox icon-painting of the 15th-20th cc. These icons are exhibited regularly in different cities of Italy. Exhibitions in Naples, Viterbo and Turin are planned for the next year.
