Many Italian authorities were present, the mayors Fulvio Gazzola (Dolceacqua) and Vittorio Ingenito (Bordighera), S.A.S. Prince Albert II, who lent one of the masterpieces, Patrick de Carolis director of the Marmottan Monet Museum in Paris with Marianne Mathieu, scientific director.

The exhibition dedicated to Claude Monet is an extraordinary event, scheduled from 30 April to 31 July 2019.
After 135 years from his stay, three paintings by the great French artist return to Bordighera and Dolceacqua in the place where they were made.

The “MONET, RETURN TO THE RIVIERA” project is made possible by the collaboration with the Musèe Marmottan Monet in Paris through the precious work of its director, Mme Marianne Mathieu, and by the availability of S.A.S. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Two of the three paintings on display come from the Musée Marmottan Monet, “Le Château de Dolceacqua” and “Vallée de Sasso, effet de soleil”. The third painting, “Monte Carlo vu de Roquebrune” comes from the Private Collection of S.A.S. Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The three paintings, created during the artist’s stay on the Riviera, are exhibited in two locations: “Vallée de Sasso, effet de soleil” at Villa Regina Margherita in Bordighera which, for the occasion, reopens to the public with a dedicated path of great suggestion, while “Le Château de Dolceacqua” and “Monte Carlo vu de Roquebrune” are exhibited at the Doria Castle of Dolceacqua.
