Chagall exhibit opens in Rome landmark

The display has been organised by the Marc Chagall National Museum in Nice.
Chagall, who was born in Vitebsk in what was then the Russian Empire and is now Belarus, has become famous for his gravity-defying paintings that feature flying farm animals, Jewish folk musicians and wedding scenes.
Chagall took French nationality in 1937 and became one of the most famous painters of the 20th century in France, along with Pablo Picasso.
The exhibition in Rome runs until March 27.
