The “Novecento” Museum has finally opened its doors after an extensive renovation project, headed by Italo Rota and Fabio Fornasari, which has lasted several years. But the wait was worth it!

Come and see this immense collection of Italian art from the Avantgarde period at the beginning of the XXth century to the 60′s. The works belong to both public and private collections including among others, the house museum Boschi Di Stefano and the Jucker collection.

The museum includes over 400 works of art from paintings to statues, in chronological order, from Pellizza da Volpedo to Futurism, from  ”Spazialismo”  to “Arte Povera” (Poor Art) through the works of Carrà, Soffici, De Chirico, Sironi, Morandi, Fontana, Manzoni, Kounellis.

The space is on five levels joined by escalators, elevators, but above all by a huge spiral ramp which connects the floors and exhibition space. The museum will include a library of books related to this historical period,  a restaurant and bar as well as a museum shop for catalogs and souvenirs.
