(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 15 - The Hermitage has withdrawn a demand
to get works loaned to Italian art galleries back after a change
of heart on the part of authorities at the famed Saint
Petersburg museum.
The works, which are on display at various Milanese galleries,
will therefore stay on show until the end of the exhibitions.
They include Picasso's Young Woman, on show for the first time
in Italy until May 15 at Palazzo Rhinoceros, seat of the
Fondazione Alda Fendi; Titian's Young Woman With Plumed Hat, on
show at Palazzo Reale until June 5; and 25 works in a show on
the Grand Tour at the Gallerie d'Italia until March 27.
The Hermitage's U-turn has been taken as a possible sign of
peace amid the Russia-Ukraine war. (ANSA).
