Fondazione Luigi Rovati, in collaboration with Mart in Rovereto, will host a day of study on Thursday 20 February to examine the relationship between Etruscan art and 20th century art, already central to the exhibition Etruschi del Novecento (20th Century Etruscans), currently hosted at Mart in Rovereto and which will move to Fondazione Luigi Rovati in Milan in a second, renewed and complementary edition at the beginning of April.
