MAMbo - Museum of Modern Art

Besides UniCredit has decided to offer further support to 6 of the artists involved in the project, in agreement with the Bologna Museums Institution, commissioning the production of new artworks that has become part of Artistic Collection of the Group.

Civic Museums of Ancient Art

Bologna

In 2018 UniCredit granted on loan to the museums the fragment of the Lamentation over Christ by Luca Signorelli, which was added to the already present fragment of the Pious Woman in Cry, belonging to the municipal collection.

This combination of fragments made it possible to reconstruct part of the so-called Matelica altarpiece from 1504, depicting the Deposition and originally kept in the Church of Sant'Agostino in Matelica until 1736, when the building was modernized and redecorated in Baroque style. Consequently the altarpiece was dismembered into several parts  to be sold and ended up dispersed on the antiques market.
