The New National Museum of Monaco is currently featuring the private collection of Fabrizio Moretti, taking the public on a journey through six centuries of art history.

The latest exhibition at Villa Sauber, titled ‘Step by Step’, pays tribute to a remarkable Monegasque collection and its owner Fabrizio Moretti, and is being shown to the public for the first time. A selection of 39 works are on show, ranging from old masters to contemporary artists. The project explores what might be considered the private cosmogony of the collector, who has the eye of an art dealer working with paintings and sculptures on a daily basis. This personal, erudite journey takes us through six centuries of art history in an interpretation formulated by curator Cristiano Raimondi.

This vast and highly diverse collection provides the museum an opportunity to show very rare works, which constitute an exceptional compendium of Western artistic culture. Ranging from the Gothic period to the early Renaissance and on through Mannerism and the Baroque, the Moretti Collection takes us through the experimental stages of the past decade.

This is a unique and highly diverse collection of masterpieces, great and small. Austere, like the works of Spinello Aretino and Jannis Kounellis, alluring like the paintings of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Guido Cagnacci, and George Condo, and the works of superstars like Pontormo, Gerhard Richter, and Lucio Fontana. The curator’s take is not that of exploring potential interactions between the pieces in the collection, but rather of focusing on the collector’s intuitions and vision.

Fabrizio, who graduated in Literature from the University of Florence, and the son of the famous Tuscan antiquarian Alfredo, opened the Galleria Moretti at the age of 22, specialising in the Old Masters. Over the years he became passionate about all artistic expressions and periods, and even earned the title Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Ever since the beginning of his career, he has collected works made by the protagonists of Western art, without distinction of period, genre, or medium.

The exhibition runs until 29thSeptember 2019.

A Monegasque delegation took part in the 41st assembly meeting, which was held in Paris on 10thto 11th April. Frédéric Labarrère, Minister Counselor and President in office since March 2017, was re-elected for two years as president of the assembly of parties by the representatives of European member states of the intergovernmental organisation.

At the opening of the assembly, several high-level participants spoke on the political, economic and technological context of satellite telecommunications.

Over two days many issues were discussed by the experts, including those relating to the use of radio frequencies, the deliberate interference of programs transmitted by satellite, and the participation of Eutelsat-IGO in reducing the digital divide.

The European Telecommunications Satellite Organisation Eutelsat was founded in 1977, establishing the first telecommunications satellite system in Europe. In 2001, the organisation changed status and created the satellite operator Eutelsat S.A., to which it transferred its operational and commercial activities.

Residents in Monaco will be able to benefit from two Monaco Telecom security services free of charge to protect connected devices. The initiative will be funded by the government, as part of the Principality’s efforts to improve digital security.

Monaco Telecom announced that it will enable broadband users to receive up to five licences for Monaco Care Safety, which combines anti-virus, internet security and parental control software, alongside Monaco Care Password, which provides secure storage for passwords. Both services have been developed by Monaco Telecom in partnership with cyber-security provider F-Secure.

The new measure will be implemented from June with the collaboration of the Principality’s national agency for digital security AMSN, which since 2016 has been putting into action a dedicated strategy to protect personal data for the residents of Monaco.
