Casa museo Boschi di Stefano
Private apartment turned gallery, walls once hung floor to ceiling with a couple's collected twentieth century Italian art.
This guide to Casa museo Boschi di Stefano in Milan opens with the painter Giorgio Morandi handing back part of a payment, insisting a collector named Marieda Di Stefano had offered too much for two of his paintings. You'll hear how Marieda, a sculpture student, met her husband Antonio Boschi, a Pirelli engineer, on holiday in 1926, and how the two built one of the great private collections of twentieth century Italian art on a modest household budget. The guide follows the friendships behind it, naming artists like Carlo Carra, Mario Sironi, Lucio Fontana and Arturo Martini who walked through this door. Look up at the walls, once hung floor to ceiling with paintings no single visit could fully absorb.
