Crescende Secures Agreement to Tour Florentine Master Collection

Apr 18, 2006 11:46:00 AM

VANCOUVER, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/18/06 -- Crescende International, Inc. (OTC: CDIT) announced today that it has finalized a revenue generating agreement with New Renaissance Art of California and Tusscin Management of Canada for the exclusive rights to tour the Florentine Master Collection, a $165 million group of first-cast, limited edition replicas of some of the world's greatest sculptures.

"This license agreement places Crescende in a revenue generating position within the year," CEO Michella Frosch announced. "We are immediately planning to mount an exhibition that will begin touring in Winter 2006. In addition through our exclusive agreement, we have the license to sell some of the world's greatest sculptures worldwide."

Among the works are Michelangelo's La Pieta, considered to be the finest work by the world's finest artist. This masterpiece was created in Michelangelo's early years and features the Madonna holding the crucified body of The Christ on her lap. The original sculpture, created in marble, resides in St. Peter's in Rome. The work is but one of 50 of Italy's finest Renaissance artists. Michelangelo's David is also part of the collection, along with numerous other masterpieces by Donatello, Gianbologna and Ghiberti.

"These sculptures are perfectly recreated," Frosch advised. "They are breathtaking in their beauty and we are honoured to have the opportunity to create a worldwide tour of works that most people would never have the opportunity to otherwise see, except in photographs or singularly at a museum."

Frosch emphasized the significance of this tour. "The originals will never travel in an exhibition, and visitors will never have the opportunity to see this remarkable collection of masterworks in one location except through the exhibition tour."

With the Florentine Collection secured, Crescende continues to explore other cultural properties for touring exhibitions, Frosch advised. CDIT will develop, package and tour major exhibitions and create art reproductions and souvenir adaptations from the artifacts from these exhibitions.
