To commemorate five hundred years since the death of one of Italy’s most celebrated artists, an exhibition of his early work will be displayed in his hometown of Castelfranco Veneto, near Treviso until April 2010.

Anyone considering buying a property in Italy may be well advised to experience this exclusive look at what the Italian Tourist Board describes as "the genius and greatness of an artist who has created some of the most emblematic works of the Italian Renaissance".

Art lovers who are considering a property in Italy may find themselves fascinated with the work of an artist who is still very much an enigma in his home country, according to the tourism board.

The exhibition will showcase Giorgione’s early work from the 15th century but very little is known about his life as a younger man.

Documents which form his biography are all limited to the final stage of his life, which the plague brought to a premature end in 1510 at the age of 33.
