SUPPORT THE PROJECT<\/h2>\n

ART BONUS<\/p>\n

\u201cIl dono di Maria Luigia\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

Individuals, 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\u2030 of annual turnover.
\nPayments must be made using traceable payment methods, in accordance with current legislation.<\/p>\n

THE COLLECTION<\/h2>\n

In 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO FIND IT<\/h2>\n

Once the restoration is complete, the Museum of Natural History will house part of the collection within the section dedicated to Marie Louise\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

WHY SAVE IT?<\/h2>\n

Wax 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-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 or plaster have taken over, whilst, on the other hand, the value of the extremely rare surviving collections has risen dramatically.<\/p>\n
