The luxury house will support the restoration of one Jacopo Bassano painting annually as part of a three-year partnership with the Roman museum
Loro Piana has announced a new three-year partnership with Rome’s Galleria Borghese, expanding its involvement in cultural preservation through a restoration initiative focused on Italian Renaissance art.
Under the agreement, the luxury house will fund the restoration of one artwork each year, beginning with a series of large-scale paintings by Venetian Renaissance master Jacopo Bassano. The project centers on Spring, Autumn and Winter, three works from Bassano’s renowned cycle The Seasons, which depicts rural landscapes and daily life through the changing rhythms of nature.
The collaboration marks a new chapter in Loro Piana’s cultural patronage efforts, aligning the brand’s longstanding emphasis on craftsmanship and heritage with the preservation of significant works of Italian art. Housed within Rome’s historic Villa Borghese, the Galleria Borghese is among Italy’s most important museums, with collections spanning works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Antonio Canova.
“We are delighted to embark on this significant partnership with Galleria Borghese, an initiative that aligns perfectly with our deep commitment to Italian art and culture,” said Frédéric Arnault, chief executive officer of Loro Piana.
This collaboration stands as a testament to the powerful synergy between two Italian excellences, bound by a shared dedication to preserve art, craftsmanship and culture, and to ensure that the artworks of the past continue to inspire generations to come.”
Francesca Cappelletti, director of Galleria Borghese, highlighted the long-term impact of the project, noting that the restoration of Bassano’s paintings will help preserve their artistic and historical significance for future generations while allowing visitors to continue engaging with the works in their fullest form.
The initiative continues Loro Piana’s broader investment in cultural and heritage conservation across Italy. In 2025, the LVMH-owned brand supported the restoration of the historic wooden flooring at Milan’s Galleria d’Arte Moderna and contributed to the conservation of the statues dedicated to the rivers Tevere and Arno at Rome’s Villa Giulia, home to the National Etruscan Museum.
With the new partnership, Loro Piana joins a growing number of luxury houses deepening their involvement in the preservation of cultural institutions, reinforcing the connection between craftsmanship, history, and artistic legacy.
