Italian Treasures in the U.S. – An itinerary of Art” is the result of a multifaceted project which began in 2011, the year of the 150th anniversary of Italian unification. The aim is to promote Italy's cultural and artistic heritage, whose presence is indeed relevant in the United States. The Embassy and the network of Italian Consulates and Cultural Institutes in the U.S. have worked passionately to raise awareness among the Italian and American public. Through this passion and hard-work, Italian masterpieces from 41 museums around the United States were brought together and the collection Italian Treasures in the U.S. finally came to life. It is an extraordinary narrative featuring creativity and beauty, a legacy for everyone, with Italy as the main protagonist.
