The Ranieri Annunciation inspired a contemporary work by one of the greatest living Italian artists, Nunzio. The artist, encouraged by the art collector Giuseppe Cascetta, worked intensively on Perugino’s painting, deeply thinking about its meaning and its formal and spiritual values in a metatemporal dialogue. The result, depicted in this catalogue, is two sculptures in burnt wood that through a contemporary language translate the eternal relationship that in art binds the masters of the past to living artists.
