On November 20th, starting at 7:00 PM, Noblesse Palace will host the opening of the sculpture exhibition, “Divino,” by the Italian artist Giorgio Butini. Through this exhibition, Giorgio Butini brings to the forefront a harmony of forms and details inspired by the divine concept. Each sculpture showcases the artistic mastery of the Italian sculptor and his relationship with life and divinity. His works highlight a deep passion for art and an extraordinary ability to breathe life into bronze and marble, as well as other materials, in a way that deepens the connection between viewers and divinity. The exhibition, featuring 23 sculptures, will be open for visitation until January 31, 2024.
The “Divino” exhibition by master Giorgio Butini is organized by Noblesse Palace, Fusion Arts, and Noblesse Group with the support of Original Media, under the auspices of the Embassy of Italy in Bucharest and the Instituto Italiano di Cultura di Bucarest.

Who is Giorgio Butini?
Maestro Giorgio Butini was born in Italy, in Florence, and has vast experience in visual arts, sculpture, painting, drawing, goldsmithing, as well as ceramics and decorative arts. Giorgio Butini is also specialized in the restoration of paintings, frescoes, and stone materials. The master has been passionate about drawing and figurative art since childhood. Initially, art was just a game, which turned into a passion and then into a lifestyle. He pursued in-depth studies of human anatomy. He has won seven significant awards, such as the Second Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1997, the Award for the work “Dreams,” exhibited at the sixth edition of the International Art Biennale in Beijing, China, in 2015, and in 2022, the International Prize of the City of Troina, as part of the sculpture section, where he was ranked as the best contemporary sculptor.
“Art is a way of life for me, and I borrow in it the expression of the deepest feelings. This is how many of my works, representing states and thoughts, have found a voice and have been brought to life. The constraints we suffer, the loss of values around us, the difficulty of understanding and expressing our deepest needs often mean that we are dissatisfied with our lives, locked in forms that force us on predetermined paths, which others have decided for us” – Giorgio Butini.
Among the master’s most famous public works are: “Death, Resurrection, and the Holy Spirit,” a bronze crucifix offered as a gift to Pope Benedict XVI in 2007, which is now exhibited in the Vatican Museum in Rome, “Supremacy,” a bronze and silver sculpture housed in the Quirinal Museum in Rome, a sculpture offered to the President of the Italian Republic in 2010, “The Arch of Peace,” a work exhibited at the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi, Florence, in May 2023. The work “The Arch of Peace” represents the artist’s vision of peace and will be permanently exhibited at the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels.
