The 1^st International Conference entitled “El Greco in Lands of Umbria. For a new geography of the Domínikos Theotokópoulos’ stays between Crete and Italy” will be held in the city of Bettona from 28^th to 30^th September.

The International Conference of Bettona will be held on 28^th September at the Villa del Boccaglione, on 29^th and 30^th September at the Municipal Theatre of St. Catherine.

It will be a place of exchange and comparison of experiences, open to scholars of art history, historians, curators, restorers and diagnostics who want to contribute to the studies on the figure of El Greco, making their research available to the scientific community.

There will be five paintings on canvass (the so-called Tabernacle Tablets of the Bettona Tabernacle) recently attributed to the Cretan painter and now kept at the Civic Museum, the signed Tabernacle so-called "of Cyprus" and all those clues that will allow to advance the hypothesis of an intense stay of Domìnikos between Umbria and Marche, thus confirming the existence of his workshop.

Important Italian and international scholars, personalities from the world of art and culture will be present.
