An incredible quantity of artworks, above all for a private house. The Boschi Di Stefano Museum House possesses masterpieces by Carrà, Fontana, De Chirico, Sironi, De Pisis and Boccioni.
It was created by virtue of the couple who lived there, Antonio Boschi (1896-1988) and his wife Marieda Di Stefano (1901-1968), who were keen collectors of art. Today the museum comprises a selection of over two hundred works, which were donated to the Municipality of Milan in 1974. The collection provides an interesting portrait of the history of 20th century Italian art.
The “Novecento Italiano” room is particularly interesting, with works by Funi, Marussig, Tozzi, Carrà and Casorati.
