Husband and wife Antonio and Marieda Boschi Di Stefano collected over two thousand works of contemporary art. About three hundred of these have been selected for their quality and distributed in chronological order in the ten exhibition areas of the Boschi Di Stefano Museum-Home.
The collection – which comprises paintings, sculptures and drawings – is an extraordinary testimony to the history of 20th-century Italian art from the first decade to the end of the sixties. The foundation opened in 2003 and showcases around 300 pieces of modern art.
There are masterpieces by Lucio Fontana, Giorgio de Chirico, Piero Manzoni, Achille Funi, Mario Sironi, Severini and Boccioni. There are also important pieces of furniture by early 20th-century Italian designers like the firm Ducrot of Palermo, Alessandro Mendini or Gino Levi Montalcini.
