The Foundation, located in the historical center of Milan, at Foro Buonaparte 67, only a few hundred meters away from the Duomo and next to the Castello Sforzesco, opposite the “Dal Verme” Theatre, was founded by artist Luciana Matalon with the aim of creating an exhibition space which could become an international “crossroad” of new ideas and the occasion for visual, emotive and intellectual enrichment. A place which is not influenced by tendencies, trends or fashions, but which is the testimony of values, open to the public since November 2000. The Foundation also organizes exhibitions of painting and sculpture (for example Modigliani, Burri, Melotti, Armodio, Calabria) and photography (one of the most recent the international wildlife photography competition Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Schegge di Periferie by Nino De Pietro, in collaboration with the Alinari Foundation of Florence). It also organizes conferences and cultural initiatives, such as book presentations, conferences, meetings (Dorfles, Veronesi, Augias, Sgarbi, Hack, Mogol), concerts and theathral shows.
