Florence - A new painting will be presented at the former church of San Pier Scheraggio in Florence on Thursday, April 1st, 2014. At the end of the month, it will join officially the permanent collection of the Uffizi Gallery.

The work was painted by Camillo Boccaccino, a 16th century artist from Cremona. He was probably trained in the workshop of Titian and was deeply influenced by the art of Veneto and by that of many renowned italian artists of his time, from Pordenone and Raphael, to the Mannerism of Giulio Romano.

The portrait depicts an old man, maybe a preparatory study created around 1530 for the image of a saint or a prophet that he meant to include in an altarpiece.
The renovation of this canvas, which has been in the storage of the Uffizi Gallery until now, was made possible thanks to the contribution of six Lions Clubs of the florentine territory.
