House Boschi Di Stefano is a private apartment near the station Lima of the underground line 1, donated to the City of Milan and turned into a museum, small but full of valuable works, since in it are housed three hundred of the more than two thousand works from the collection, donated to the City of Milan in 1974, of Antonio Boschi (1896-1988) and Marieda Di Stefano (1901-1968).
The collection - which includes paintings, sculptures and drawings - represents an extraordinary testimony to the history of Italian art of the twentieth century from the first decade of the twentieth century to the end of the sixties.
Among the most significant works The Gladiator School and Trophy Makers by De Chirico, Apparition and Venus of the Harbours by Sironi, Head of an Old by Boccioni, Landscape (the pink villa) by Morandi, The Annunciation and The Algérie préhistorique by Savino, two Achromes by Piero Manzoni. And then, in particular, several works by Lucio Fontana, an artist greatly appreciated and followed from the start of the collection.
Casa Boschi Di Stefano is located in a building which was built between 1929 and 1931 under the supervision of the architect Piero Portaluppi - former designer of the Villa Necchi Campiglio.
Casa Boschi Di Stefano is open to visitors. For full details see fondazioneboschidistefano.it.
