A masterpiece beyond the museum walls.

Created by Caravaggio around the turn of the 17th century, Basket of Fruit, preserved at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan, is conventionally recognized as one of the earliest autonomous still lifes in Western art history.

Through this new digital presentation, Save the Artistic Heritage and NYC Culture Club bring this extraordinary masterpiece into the heart of New York City, in an unexpected urban setting where art meets the rhythm of everyday life.

Using Cinello’s digital technology, a work that cannot ordinarily travel beyond the walls of its museum can reach new audiences, creating an opportunity to encounter Italy’s artistic heritage in a different context.

Art lovers, collectors, museum directors and all those passionate about art are warmly invited to discover this unique encounter between Renaissance genius and contemporary urban life.

Art that gives back.

Through our Authenticated Digital Limited Editions, a portion of the proceeds from our sales is dedicated to supporting the museums that preserve these extraordinary works. Through Save the Artistic Heritage, our non-profit association, we are committed to strengthening the financial independence of Italian museums, helping them safeguard their collections and share their cultural legacy with future generations.

A heartfelt thank you to Philia Associates & Events for giving Cinello and Save the Artistic Heritage the opportunity to take part in Portofino Talks 2026, an exceptional gathering bringing together leading figures from Italian government, business and top management.

At the heart of the event, guests had the opportunity to discover the limited and authenticated digital edition of Leonardo da Vinci’s La Scapigliata, an extraordinary masterpiece preserved at the Monumental Complex of the Pilotta in Parma.

It was a truly special occasion: one of the rare opportunities to experience a work by Leonardo beyond the museum walls that safeguard it, presented through an authorized digital edition that preserves its artistic and cultural identity.

A remarkable encounter between heritage, technology and the people shaping Italy’s future.

Fabrizio Plessi
1940–2026

We remember Fabrizio Plessi, one of the great pioneers of Italian video art and one of the most original voices in the dialogue between art, technology and matter.

Born in Reggio Emilia in 1940 and formed artistically in Venice, Plessi began exploring water, movement and the relationship between image and reality as early as the late 1960s. His long relationship with the Venice Biennale began in 1970 and continued across several editions, culminating in 1986, when he represented Italy with Bronx. His work would go on to be presented internationally, from Documenta in Kassel to the Centre Pompidou and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Throughout his extraordinary career, Plessi transformed video, electronic images and new technologies from mere instruments of representation into the very material of the artwork. Water, fire, earth, stone, gold and light became vehicles for a timeless reflection on nature, memory, technology and human desire.

At Save the Artistic Heritage and Cinello, we had the privilege of collaborating with Fabrizio on a series of digital artworks that brought this extraordinary vision into a new dimension. Works such as Gold, curated by Serena Tabacchi, continue his investigation into the tension between physical matter and digital perception: solid becomes liquid, value becomes image, and time becomes movement.

We had the pleasure of presenting these works in Italy and internationally, and of witnessing first-hand his extraordinary ability to look towards the future without ever losing sight of the history of art.

His vision remains in motion.

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.
