Arte Italia today announced it will give away free tickets to Wolf Pack home football games in conjunction with the arrival of Titian's Renaissance masterpiece La Bella: Woman in a Blue Dress.

The Beauty and the Beasts promotion allows guests who visit arte italia's educational art exhibition, Titian's Venice, the opportunity to receive free football tickets Wednesday through Friday prior to each home game through November 19, 2011.

"arte italia is delighted to collaborate with the Nevada Wolf Pack football team to bring together the art of football and Titian's art of portraiture," said arte italia President Kristen Avansino. "The unique combination of La Bella in her stunning blue dress and the Men in Blue is a splendid opportunity to showcase our appreciation for priceless Renaissance art and the University of Nevada."

Titian's Venice details the mysterious identity of La Bella, the intricacies of her magnificent dress and the unique setting, geography and history of 16th century Venice. Upon experiencing the exhibition, visitors will also receive a complimentary pass to view the original oil on canvas masterwork at the Nevada Museum of Art.

Founded in Reno, NV and operated by the E. L. Wiegand Foundation, arte italia promotes the exploration and conservation of Italian culture through innovative exhibitions of classic Italian art and culinary programs featuring renowned Italian chefs. Located at 442 Flint Street, arte italia is open Wednesday through Sunday 10am - 5pm and Thursday 10am - 8pm. Admission is free.

Limit two Wolf Pack tickets per family while supplies last.
