A vast selection from the diverse Terruzzi collection, which boasts among other things, works by Canaletto, Tiepolo, Belletto and Sebastiano Ricci.

This publication presents a selection from the immense Terruzzi collection, which in its entirety comprises some 4 thousand pieces estimated to be worth a total of 500 million dollars. 

The Terruzzi collection was born more than fifty years ago from a great passion for art in its multi-faceted aspects and includes paintings, furniture, tapestries, statues, porcelain, and silver and luxury objects, collected with learned curiosity and aesthetic taste, and with reliable tools enabling verification of authenticity and quality. The catalogue indexes and examines, section by section, the collection’s masterpieces.

Angelo Guido Terruzzi, an enthusiast of seventeenth and eighteenth century painting, and in particular of the Vedutismo of the Veneto region, was able to gather, over time, a collection envied throughout the world. The works he brought together include paintings by Canaletto, Bellotto, Sebastiano Ricci, Magnasco, Amigoni, Pellegrini, Antonio and Gaspare Diziani, Piazzetta, Tiepolo, Rosalba Carriera, Guardi, Longhi, Fontebasso, in addition to the works of earlier painters such as Paolo Veneziano, Cariani, Paris Bordone, Tintoretto, Luca Giordano, Strozzi, and even modern and contemporary pieces by artists such as Fontana, Sironi, Leger, De Chirico, and Savinio.

A significant part of this immense collection can be seen in an exhibition at the Vittoriano in Rome. In terms of quality, the Terruzzi collection has a fundamental role in the history of Italian collecting in the second half of the twentieth century.
