Gallerie d’Italia – Milano

Le Gallerie d'Italia - Milan overlook the central Piazza della Scala and are housed in three historic buildings of great architectural value, offering a rich and multifaceted cultural itinerary. The route includes a vast collection dedicated to the 19th century - which also includes the collections of the Fondazione Cariplo - the 20th century building site, focused on 20th century art, and the Alexander's Garden, an evocative space of art and greenery between Palazzo Anguissola and the home of the illustrious writer.

Among the most fascinating works are the thirteen plaster bas-reliefs by Antonio Canova, inspired by Homer and Virgil, and the intense historical paintings by Francis Hayez. The tour then extends to the 20th century with masterpieces by Umberto Boccioni e Lucio Fontana. Alongside the permanent collections, the museum regularly presents major temporary exhibitions in collaboration with prestigious Italian and international institutions, as well as dossier exhibitions devoted to history, photography and contemporary art, accompanied by a varied programme of cultural initiatives.
