With another month before an exhibition of Dutch paintings opens at Palazzo Fava in Bologna, ticket sales are already going through the roof for the show, which will run from February 8 to May 25.
The exhibition will feature works by seventeenth-century Dutch painters, on loan from the Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague, among them Johannes Vermeer’s world-famous Girl with a Pearl Earring, on show for the first time in Italy.
More than 70,000 tickets have already been sold. A theatre performance with music by Franco Battiato to open the exhibition sold out within minutes.
