Fendi has announced that it will invest in a new artistic initiative at the Galleria Borghese aimed at researching and promoting the works of Caravaggio.
The Carvaggio Research Institute, a three-year partnership between the Rome-based fashion house and gallery, will fund local and traveling exhibitions by the 16th-century painter and related artists. It will also establish a center for the study of Caravaggioโs works, seven of which, including โBoy With a Basket of Fruitโ and โSt. Jeromeโ are in the Borghese Collection.
Headquartered in Rome, Fendi recently helped fund a long-overdue cleaning of the Trevi Fountain. This was one of several high profile renovation projects in the capital sponsored by a local business, such as the Colosseum cleaning project sponsored by Todโs/Diego della Valle and the renovation of the Spanish Steps by Rome jewelers Bulgari.
The Galleria Borghese, located in the Villa Borghese, is one of Romeโs best small museums. Reservations are required. Book tickets for the Galleria Borghese here.
