Caravaggio is returning to Sicily, where the 17th-century genius left his last works.
Trapani's Museo Pepoli is displaying 14 masterpieces, including one recently discovered by Caravaggio expert Sir Denis Mahon, from December 14 until March 14.
Mahon, the world's best-known Caravaggio connoisseur, bought the grimy painting at auction for 50,000 pounds.
He had it cleaned and restored and found it was a replica of Caravaggio's famous Card Sharps.
That work, worth some $50 million, is in the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.
The show marks the 400th anniversary of the turbulent artist's short stay on the island before travelling to Porto Ercole north of Rome where he died of a fever in 1610, aged 39.
Caravaggio had been forced to flee Rome after killing a man in a tavern brawl.
