The red porphyry basin from the Farnese collection, located in the center of the Fountain Garden at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, has been restored thanks to the sponsorship of the Rigoni di Asiago company in collaboration with Fondaco Italia.
For the 2015 Milan Expo, the Veneto-based company launched the traveling project "Nature in the Heart of…." NAPLES, a city voted for by over thirty thousand online users, is the seventh stop after Milan, Venice, Rome, Matera, Florence, and Bergamo.
