CULTURAL HERITAGE

WINGED VICTORY

The commitment to safeguarding the cultural heritage of the city of Brescia saw Antares Vision at the forefront of the restoration of the Winged Victory – in close collaboration with Fondazione Brescia Musei. The Winged Victory, bronze sculpture of the first century, has been one of the most recognizable symbols of the city since 1826 and the support for its restoration project was to be the first gesture of gratitude and thanksgiving to the area in which Antares Vision grew up. In May 2019, after the diagnostic phase, the statue was transferred to the laboratories of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence, for the conservative restoration, and will return to Brescia by the end of 2020 in a new location specially designed for this priceless artifact.

Antares Vision is proud to announce the launch of the Raffaele La Ragione and Marco Crosetto musicians’ new album. In addition to the interest in music, in all its manifestations, active participation in the project is linked to Brescia’s inventiveness and innovation. Studies carried out by La Ragione have shown that Beethoven wrote his pieces especially to be played with the mandolin of Brescia, a particular instrument in use in and around the Brescia area as early as the 17th century. It had an international prominence in the following century thanks to Bartolomeo Bartolozzi, a musician and composer from Toscolano Maderno, a small town on the outskirts of Brescia by Lake Garda, who moved with his mandolin, first to London and then to Vienna, where he lived in Walfischgasse (allegedly that of Beethoven). The CD features combinations of pieces composed by Beethoven, Bartolozzi and Hummel. The latter is another composer which includes mandolin pieces to complete the overview of the authors who tried their hand at the mandolin and who were contemporaries among them.
