The Museo's Permanent Collection

The Museo maintains a small but impressive permanent collection of paintings, sculptures, photographs, and works on paper by prominent Italian and Italian-American artists. Included are several works by such internationally recognized painters as Francesco Clemente, Sandro Chia, Tom Marioni, Mimmo Paladino, Emilio Tadini, and many others; sculptures by Elio Benvenuto, David Bottini, Italo Scanga, Arnaldo Pomodoro and, on permanent loan, by Beniamino Bufano. Fine examples of earlier 20th centry artists Rinaldo Cuneo, Giuseppe Cadenasso, and Luigi Lucioni complement the collection as well as precious 18th century etchings by Antonio Visentini and Pietro Testa.

The Museo periodically exhibits a selection from its permanent collection, which presents varied and different exhibitions, on Italian and Italian-American culture. The Museo continually seeks to expand its permanent collection of art by Italian and Italian-American artists. If you are interested in donating a work of art to the Museo, please contact us.
