Both Presidents, Mr Etienne Franzi for the CMB and Mr Jean Pastorelli for the Grimaldi Forum, signed the partnership agreement, on Thursday, January 17th, in front of about fifty journalists. This agreement confirms the Compagnie Monegasque de Banque as the official partner of the Congress Center for the year 2013.
An exhaustive presentation of the 2013 cultural programme was then made by the Grimaldi Forum: eclectic entertainments of a very high level, such as the London Royal Ballet or the Musical West Side Story. And a very exceptionnal event : "Monaco Celebrates Picasso". Produced thanks to the CMB, it will exhibit more than 150 paintings with, among other works, some masterpieces from the Nahmad collection, never presented before.
