The show

The title of the exhibition is Drappi d'oro e di seta. Fabrics for the European courts of the Renaissance , a path that illustrates the evolution of luxury textile productions between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries , with over 120 pieces - many of which have never before been exhibited to the public and restored specifically for the occasion by the internal Restoration Laboratory at the La Tela di Penelope museum.
The exhibition itinerary among the fabrics is accompanied by the large-scale reproduction of 6 great characters from the life of the Italian Renaissance court of the period, including Bianca Maria Sforza, Elisabetta Gonzaga, Sigismondo Malatesta, Cosimo Primo de 'Medici.
The selected images illustrate - through the portraits made by extraordinary painters such as Domenico Ghirlandaio, Piero della Francesca, Raffaello, Tiziano, Alessandro Allori - the sartorial styles in vogue at the time and offer punctual feedback to the fabrics on display, giving immediate evidence of the use they those precious and expensive fabrics were made at court.
