His Excellency Domenico Giorgi, Ambassador of the Italian Republic to Japan, his wife Mrs. Rita Mannella and officials from the Italian Embassy in Tokyo recently paid a courtesy call on the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum.
They viewed the special exhibition, “Genius and Ambition: The Royal Academy of Arts, London, 1768-1918” as well as other works from the museum’s private collection.
Museum officials led by Board of Trustees Chair Kenji Harashima and Director Akira Gokita greeted the Italian dignitaries. Following their viewing of the museum’s works, the two sides discussed Expo 2015 that will be held in Milan, Italy, as well as the agreement of long-term cooperation signed between TFAM and the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage in November 2012.
