Paintings from All Over World Augment Magnificent Collection Sent by Italian Government - Represents Art of 13th to End of 18th Century

By Albert Franz Cochrane

APPEARING most frequently in cable dispatches telling of the opening on New Year's Day of the great Italian art exhibition in London is the name of Benito Mussolini. And well it might be, for, in all probability, there has never been such a magnificent collection of Italian paintings ever assembled at the Royal Academy. It is an open history of the greatest and most popular of the Italian schools, and each canvas page of that history is a masterpiece.

The paintings are due to Premier Mussolini for the superb display, and it is a matter of record that the closest treasures of the Italian people were not spared. The most famous of the works of art were sent, and they are now being seen in London. The Italian Government has sent 134 pictures, and the private collections of England have been ransacked for the rest. The exhibition is a magnificent one, and it is one that will astonish the world.
