In the year of the fiftieth anniversary of Galileo Chini’s death, to commemorate him the Comune di Venezia financed the restoration the frescoes made by the artist for the cupola of the Italian Pavilion in the Biennale gardens. To continue this project, Venetian Heritage financed the restoration of the large panels, which were made by Galileo Chini to decorate the exhibition space of La Biennale di Venezia in 1907 and in 1920. Venetian Heritage also agreed to the restoration of other paintings by important artists such as: Agostino Bonalumi, Giuseppe Capogrossi and Mario Sironi.
