La Scapigliata (detail) by Leonardo da Vinci, ca. 1506–1508 (Galleria Nazionale di Parma, Parma)

In 1734, the Duke of Parma (and soon-to-be King of Naples) had most of the extensive art collection established by his family moved from Parma to Naples. Filippo Borbone, who became Duke of Parma in 1748, was determined to hold on to what works were left, including Correggio’s masterpiece The Madonna of St. Jerome. With what was kept, plus the addition of Greco-Roman works as well as new acquisitions and the return of some works from Naples, the collection would become the Ducal Fine Arts Academy and eventually the National Gallery of Parma.

Italian Renaissance art expert Rocky Ruggiero delves into artworks housed in the National Gallery of Parma, including important pieces by Correggio as well as La Scapigliata by da Vinci.
