A set of frescos by Giandomenico Tiepolo (1727-1804) have been acquired by the Italian State. These delicate wall paintings were removed from the walls of a residence belonging to the Valmarana family of Vicenza during World War Two. Although they have been on loan to the Palladio Museum in Vicenza for several years, the current owners had managed to secure a sale agreement with Alessandro Benetton for the sum of €1,850,000. Due to the pre-emption laws governing art in Italy, the Italian government managed to raise the money to keep them in the hands of the State.
