Since August 1, the Boschi Di Stefano House Museum has reopened to the public in Milan. It preserves and exhibits one of the most important art collections of the 20th century.

In Milan, Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano reopened to the public on August 1. In fact, extraordinary maintenance work on the Casa Museo has been completed, allowing its rooms to be cooled and air conditioned. Located on the second floor of the building at 15 Jan Street, a jewel of 1930s architecture designed by Piero Portaluppi between 1929 and 1930, the House Museum preserves and exhibits one of the most important art collections of the 20th century collected by Antonio Boschi and Marieda Di Stefano. The collection is set up in the spaces where it was originally located, that is, in the apartment of Antonio Boschi and Marieda Di Stefano, and consists of two main nuclei: works from the 1920s and 1930s and works created since the 1940s.

The first nucleus brings together the works collected by Francesco Di Stefano and bought by Antonio and Marieda at the Galleria Milano - a destination for traditional Milanese collectors, where the couple bought most of their twentieth-century works - or at the Il Milione and Della Spiga galleries - more avant-garde, where the Boschi Di Stefano’s hoarded the works of the Corrente group. From the post-World War II period onward, however, Antonio and Marieda attend artists directly, even at the beginning of their careers, and focus on works made in the present moment. Guided by instinct and an unerring eye, they choose works and artists, becoming “militant” collectors.

The House Museum will remain open all summer, as usual free of charge Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (with last admission at 5 p.m.). Closed on Mondays and August 15.
