Biz news: IMG owner launches Italy venture
NewsThe ever-enterprising Barrett Wissmann, co-owner of IMG Artists, is supporting an Italian festival featuring his wife, the cellist Nina Kotova, and favoured artists.
The blurb reads: Domus Artium is dedicated to excellence in the arts and to bringing back the tradition of patrons opening the doors of their historic homes and palaces for performances, exhibitions and food and wine events.
