The city of Rome is hosting an art exhibition dedicated to the artworks from the churches of Aquila that were partly destroyed during the earthquake last year.
The exhibition is taking place at the lower house in Montecitorio with the aim of helping restore the town devastated by the quake.

21 historic artworks from the churches in the centre of Aquila are on display, and it is hoped that visitors appreciating the beauty of these works will contribute to the restoration of the centuries-old churches that were destroyed.

A couple of the noteworthy masterpieces include a wooden Pietà from the church of San Marco, attributed to Pompeo Cesura; a Madonna and Child in stone from the 15th century that was housed in the church of Santa Maria Paganica; and the adoration of the shepherds from the Santa Giusta church.
The exhibition is open until February 26th and for more information, see the Camera site.
