1861 marked the Unification of Italy. To celebrate this event a significant exhibition has been organized at the Scuderie del Quirinale between 6th October 2010 and 16th January 2011.
The exhibition shows how Italian painters depicted the events that led our country to the achievement of independence and national unity between 1859 and 1861. On display works by Francesco Hayez, Giuseppe Molteni, Domenico and Gerolamo Induno, Eleuterio Pagliano, Federico Faruffini, Giovanni Fattori, Silvestro Lega, Odoardo Borrani, Michele Cammarano, Giuseppe Sciuti and others.

On the night of the opening, 5th October, I went to the Scuderie del Quirinale to see the well presented exhibition.
The works, the draperies and environments were perfect for this historical exhibition....having the Palazzo del Quirinale, residence of the President of Italy, just on the other side of the square.
