SUMMARY:MARIA LUIGIA’S GIFT. Support the restoration of a forgotten treasure
DESCRIPTION:SUPPORT THE PROJECT\nART BONUS \n“Il dono di Maria Luigia” is an Art Bonus project promoted by the Ministry of Culture\, a permanent tax scheme established to encourage financial support for public cultural heritage. Donations made to this project\, intended for restoration\, maintenance and enhancement work\, entitle businesses and professionals to a tax credit equal to 65% of the amount donated. \nIndividuals\, non-commercial organisations and businesses may support the project. Donations made entitle the donor to a tax credit equal to 65% of the amount donated\, to be spread over three annual instalments.\nFor individuals and non-commercial organisations\, the benefit is limited to 15% of taxable income\, whilst for businesses it is limited to 5‰ of annual turnover.\nPayments must be made using traceable payment methods\, in accordance with current legislation. \nFor more information\, click here. \nTHE COLLECTION\nIn 1819\, Marie Louise of Austria donated a splendid collection of wax fungi to the University\, comprising over a hundred specimens of great artistic and scientific value. It is a unique collection\, invaluable for mycological study and identification thanks to its faithful reproduction of details\, dimensions and colours. For over a century\, the city of Parma has been unable to appreciate the Duchess’s gift\, which remained hidden from the public for a long time.\nTime has taken its toll on the materials and the original craftsmanship\, making a conservation restoration essential to restore Marie Louise’s mushrooms to their former glory. The restoration of the collection will allow it to be returned to the city\, two centuries after the donation\, enriching its accessible heritage. \nWHERE TO FIND IT\nOnce the restoration is complete\, the Museum of Natural History will house part of the collection within the section dedicated to Marie Louise’s Cabinet of Sciences. The remaining fungi will be housed at the Botanical Museum\, which will open at the Botanical Gardens\, displaying a selection of historical materials produced or preserved by the city of Parma over the course of more than five centuries. \nWHY SAVE IT?\nWax modelling\, the art form behind this collection\, has an intriguing history. Originating within the tradition of votive offerings\, its techniques soon extended to human anatomy and botany. The short lifespan of wax has\, over time\, had two contrasting effects. On the one hand\, other techniques based on papier-mâché or plaster have taken over\, whilst\, on the other hand\, the value of the extremely rare surviving collections has risen dramatically. \nContact\nUO Rapporti con il Territorio\, Sport e Public Engagement \ne-mail: uopublicengagement@unipr.it \nManager: Magda Gandolfi \ne-mail: magda.gandolfi@unipr.it \ntel. +39 0521 034575 \n  \nDownload the brochure
