The exhibition is part of the celebrations of Italy's Year in Latin America and of 450 years of Rio de Janeiro's foundation.

We consider ourselves true Brazilian citizens, with our industrial, environmental and social obligations,' stated FrancescoVenturini, CEO of Enel Green Power. 'The 450 years of Rio de Janeiro's foundation represent a perfect fit to bring to this city two masterpieces depicting its patron saint. Through this exhibition and other initiatives worldwide we are supporting the cultural exchange between countries as well as the spread of knowledge on the unique Italian artistic heritage. Art becomes for us the driving force for global values, encompassing beauty, excellence, history, values to be delivered to future generations as the cornerstones of tomorrow's world.'
