Today, Pignatelli’s monumental work, “Pompeii”, is part of the Capodimonte Museum’s permanent collection, as it was donated by the artist after the exhibition to be staged on top of the master staircase, next to a piece by artist William Kentridge. The same year marked another important milestone in the artist’s career. He took part in “Ri- conoscere Michelangelo”, a collective exhibition hosted by Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence to celebrate the 450th anniversary of Michelangelo’s death. Here, Pignatelli’s artworks Sculture/8788 (2014) and Analogie (2013) depicting Schiavo, Fauno Barberini, and Prigione Morente are placed closely to Michelangelo’s masterpiece David. In 2015, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence invited the artist to exhibit his famous “Heads” (one of the series that the artist is most known for) in the Gallery of Portraits (also known as Corridoio Vasariano). A series of nine works on wood titled “Migranti” was exhibited in the spaces of the Vasarian Corridor and one of them, “Self portrait as Mithridates” was acquired by the museum and is not part of the permanent collection of portraits.
