Masterpieces from the Farnesina Collection

A Glance at Italian Art from the Fifties to the Present Day, curated by Martina Corgnati and Giovanni Iovane and organised by the Embassy of Italy. Exhibit will be opened at November 20., at 18:30.

The Farnesina Contemporary Art Collection was born in 2000 as an instrument of foreign diplomacy; a true open-ended entity sustained by relations with artists and the numerous institutions working to keep contemporary art alive in Italy.

All its works are on loan, a formula that allows for the collection's continuing evolution and for the regular rotation of the works, which currently number more than 300. 

The Collection offers an important showcase for Italian artistic practices, and it was conceived fundamentally to be shown abroad, as a whole or in part, in collaboration with Italian foreign diplomatic missions.

For the occasion, a small nucleus of works by artists such as Mimmo Rotella, Piero Dorazio, Luigi Ontani, Nunzio, Vettor Pisani, Carla Accardi, Mario Cresci, Eliseo Mattiacci and Michelangelo Pistoletto has been chosen.
