A Domestic Renaissance Of The Bagatti Home

The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, born of an extraordinary art collecting adventure at the end of the 19th century, was shaped by two brothers, the Barons Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi, who restructured their family home in the heart of downtown Milan in the Neo-Renaissance style, and furnished it with their rich 15th – 16thcentury Italian art and decorative arts collections. Open to the public since 1994, Fausto’s and Giuseppe’s home, preserved just as it was, is a fascinating historic house museum.

A COLLECTORS’ HISTORICAL RESIDENCE

The Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, once inhabited by the couple made by Antonio Boschi (1896-1988) and Marieda Di Stefano

(1901-1968), hosts approximately 300 works of art, which represent a selection of the couple’s extensive collection, that includes more than 2,000 pieces. The collection stands for an extraordinary example of the history of Italian art in the 20th century The collection was donated to the Municipality of Milan in 1974 and in 1988. The House Museum opened to the public in 2003.

Historic Milanese Home Of A Middle Class Family

Immersed in an ample private garden with a swimming pool and a tennis court and set in the center of Milan, the Villa Necchi Campiglio was completed by the architect Piero Portaluppi in 1935. Commissioning the structure was the Necchi Campiglio family, part of the rich and elegant industrial middle class of Milan in the 1930s.

The Necchi Campiglio family wanted above all to distance themselves from the traditions of their day, and planned ample areas dedicated to the reception of guests and to the social whirl: the dining room, the smoking room, the library and the grand salon.

A Priceless Collection In The Heart Of Milan

Created thanks to the passion for artcollecting of the noble Milanese Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli (1822-1879), the Poldi Pezzoli Museum is one of the most important and famous house museums in the world, beloved by the Milanese and international public. It fascinates not only for the charm of the rooms evoking the past, but also for the variety and richness of its collections of over 6,000 extraordinary pieces, from Antiquity to the 19th century, suspended in a magical atmosphere.

MUSEO BAGATTI VALSECCHI, UNTIL 12 MARCH ► THE SEDUCTION OF BEAUTY

EXHIBITION The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum presents a selection of paintings from the Gastaldi Rotelli collection in the major exhibition entitled ‘La Seduzione del Bello. Capolavori Segreti tra ‘600 e ‘700" (“The Seduction of Beauty. Secret masterpieces between the 17th and 18th centuries”). Fifty masterpieces leave their usual residence for the first time all together to enter the neo-Renaissance rooms of Via Gesù and enter into dialogue with the eclectic 15th and 16th century permanent collection that the brothers Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi assembled at the end of the 19th century. With this exhibition, the House Museum is thus configured as a “House of Collections“, creating an interesting as well as unprecedented reflection on the role of private collecting, its history and consequent valorisation and fruition in the contemporary age.

ART The new exhibition on Surrealism hosted at the MUDEC presents 180 works from the collection of the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum one of the most important museums in the Netherlands, it is in dialogue with some works from the Permanent Collection of the MUDEC, telling about an entire artistic movement, not only through the works but also by delving into the theme. The exhibition led to a selection of the collection, with a special focus on the Surrealists’ interest in non-Western cultures. On display are paintings, objects and works on paper, numerous rare books, periodicals and posters by important surrealist artists and writers. Particular attention is given to exploring the fundamental themes on which Surrealist research focused –dream and reality, psyche, love and desire, a new model of beauty – and through works and publications by lesserknown authors provides the public with a 360-degree view of the Surrealist universe.
