Un museo in miniatura

From Severini to Boccioni, De Chirico to Manzoni, a miniature museum located within the walls of Casa Boschi Di Stefano. A series of works showcasing 20th century art and the life of two generous and untiring collectors who, dying without heirs, left all their works to the City of Milan. This is more an inhabited museum than a home ,where the spaces, the exhibition and the decor almost bend in submission to the intellect of the art. A short walk from Corso Buenos Aires, at 15 Via Giorgio Jan, the Boschi Di Stefano house museum is a place that has been an exhibition space since 2003. Inside, this pair of collectors collated over 2000 works: 300 are now on display in the house while others previously formed the core of the Civico Museo di Arte Contemporanea collection and later that of the Museo del Novecento. Located on the second of five floors, the house forms part of a building designed by Piero Portaluppi, one of Milan’s most prestigious architects in the 1920s and 30s, and built by Francesco Di Stefano, father of Marieda, who wanted to give each of his children a floor and also passed on his love for art to his daughter.
