The exhibit coincided with the start of the executive phase of the long-awaited restoration of perhaps the MANN’s most iconic piece, a fresco of the Battle of Issus between Alexander and Darius taken from the House of the Faun in Pompeii.
“It has been a great success for a museum that wants to be a place of cross fertilisation between cultures, identities and stories,” said director Paolo Giulierini.
“We are happy not only for the number of entries but for the appreciation expressed by visitors and the excellent recognition of critics, including international ones.”
