Conservation, enhancement and promotion of original graphic artworks and rare antique books.
Zannini Studio Arte is the cultural division of Zannini Group dedicated to the conservation, enhancement and promotion of the Farnesi Collection — approximately twenty thousand pieces of graphic art, antique books, prints and historical documents, all dedicated to Pisa and Tuscany. Built by Flaminio "Mino" Farnesi over more than thirty years, the collection represents one of the most extensive and comprehensive private archives on the history of Pisa in art and culture.
The division offers advisory services for private collectors, cultural institutions and galleries interested in acquiring or appraising works from the collection.
The collection is arranged in three departments. Each page presents a selection of works with its entry: author, technique, date and a short note.
Over one hundred volumes from 1548 to the nineteenth century on Pisa and Tuscany, and the great Oxford Bible of 1680 with Visscher's plates.
The booksThe Holy Family of the circle of Andrea del Sarto, a Baroque portrait and the Futurist aeropaintings of Pietro Ardigò.
