PRESS RELEASE (8/1/2016)
A Loano, Palazzo Doria, has been embellished with two large canvases which reproduce small portions of masterpieces of considerable size by two great artists of the Italian Renaissance: the “Battle of S. Romano” by Paul Bird (1397-1475), consisting of 3 large panels that are now in several museums (the only one remaining in Italy is in the Uffizi in Florence) and Benozzo Gozzoli's (1421-1497) “Journey of the Magi” which is in the Medici-Riccardi Palace in Florence.
The paintings can be admired by climbing up the vast staircase, which Giovanni Andrea Doria once walked on horseback, and reaching the second floor.
The two paintings were made by the Loano painter Dora Bolognesi, who has long worked abroad. His works are also exhibited in New York and New Jersey.
