ArmInfo. An exhibition of well-known Italian painter Anselmo
Francesconi was opened in the National Picture Gallery of Armenia Apr
25 on the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibition features the painter's 30 works concerning the Armenian
Genocide. Francesconi learned about the Genocide from his Armenian
wife. Since 1965 he created a series of works presenting his vision
of the Armenian Genocide.
Ambassador of Italy to Armenia Bruno Scapini says that Francesconi
strongly objected to cruelty and was sorry for the Armenian people.
Scapini believes that by means of culture and art one can urge
people to be tolerant to one another. He says that the opening of
the exhibition coincided with Italy's national holiday - the day of
the country's liberation from Fascism and german occupation.
The picture of Francesconi have been insured by INGO Armenia for
which the company has donated 600,000 EUR worth insurance coverage.
Director of INGO Armenia Levon Altunyan says that the cooperation of
Armenian insurance companies and Culture Ministry helps to enhance
the confidence of foreign exhibition centers and stimulates their
interest in Armenia.
INGO Armenia has insured museum exhibits and cultural values under
Nail-to-Nail program since 2009. The Ministry of Culture and the
National Picture Gallery of Armenia have cooperated with local
insurers since 1995 and with INGO Armenia since 2004. In 2009, on
the proposal of the Culture Ministry, INGO Armenia appeared as a
sponsor by allocating 3.6mln AMD for the reconstruction of the door
of Tatev Monastery.
