Molteni Museum

FROM THE COLLECTION / in dialogue

Nine years after the opening of the Molteni Museum in 2015, the museum presents its new permanent exhibition, curated by Ron Gilad, entitled “FROM THE COLLECTION / in dialogue”. A new path through the collection's furniture, documents and archival materials reveals and tells another story of the Molteni Group. In a dialogue between authors and objects from different eras - the chair, the table, the bookcase - juxtapositions of shapes and symmetries, colours and finishes, reveal hidden correspondences and assonances in intimate and domestic settings, similar to a house to be lived in every day where one can converse, read, study, work and love. A new intimacy. A story that tells 90 years of history, from 1934 to the present day.

The façade of the Piroscafo is a direct reference to the architecture of the Centro direzionale di Fontivegge, in Perugia, designed by Rossi between 1982 and 1989, which has the same façade with square openings.
