A new publication opens a long-needed conversation on one of the most misunderstood ideas in art history: the copy.

Copies, Replicas and Editions in the History of Art, edited by Arturo Galansino, brings together some of the most authoritative voices in the field to rethink originality, repetition, and value across centuries.

From the Roman echoes of Greek sculpture discussed by Salvatore Settis, to Caravaggio’s complex legacy explored by Maria Cristina Terzaghi, and the role of copies in the Asian temple tradition, the book expands the geography of replication beyond Western canons.
Giovanni Maria Fara traces theoretical and historical frameworks, while Francesco Guzzetti revisits the concept of the multiple in the 1960s and Arte Povera. Simone Facchinetti examines the strategic role of copies within the Old Masters market.

Published by Moebius and developed through the scientific conference promoted by Save the Artistic Heritage in collaboration with Pinacoteca di Brera, the volume is now available in all major bookstores.
A necessary tool to rethink what we call “authenticity.”

At , Save the Artistic Heritage hosted a landmark conference to challenge the taboo around reproductions in art. Experts, curators, and museum professionals came together to discuss the new patented approach for certified digital editions — opening a dialogue on authenticity, preservation, and access in the modern art world.

Save the Artistic Heritage introduced a groundbreaking patented approach to certified digital editions of masterpieces.

By creating museum-verified digital files of works such as Raphael’s Marriage of the Virgin and Hayez’s The Kiss, this innovation opens new opportunities for cultural accessibility and sustainable funding — reshaping how we think about authenticity, preservation, and patronage in the digital age.

What an inspiring day at the Biblioteca Braidense on November 24th for “Copies, Replicas and Editions in the History of Art”, a symposium organized in collaboration with Pinacoteca di Brera, with the support of Cinello and Fondazione Cariplo.

Together, they offered new insights into the history and future of copies, replicas, and digital editions in the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage.

A heartfelt thank you to all the speakers and to the wonderful audience who joined us.
