Presso l’archivio e fototeca di Antonio Morassi è conservato un fascicolo contenente alcune fotografie e due expertise su dipinti ritenuti di Tiziano e di Correggio. Lo studio dei documenti consente di far riemergere autografi degli studiosi Ludwig Baldass e Roberto Longhi, e di evocare più ampi contesti sul mercato dell’arte nel dopoguerra e sul dibattito critico intorno all’arte di Correggio.
