The Fondazione Magnani Rocca is located in the splendid Villa dei Capolavori, a few kilometers from the city of Parma. It is considered one of the most active museums in the Italian cultural scene for the exceptional permanent Collection, for the relevance of the exhibitions it organizes every year, and for the prestigious collaborations with the main museums around the world. Inside the Villa dei Capolavori in Mamiano di Traversetolo, the prestigious collection of Luigi Magnani is housed, which includes, among others, works by Gentile da Fabriano, Filippo Lippi, Carpaccio, Dürer, Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, Goya and, among contemporaries, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, up to De Chirico, De Pisis, 50 works by Morandi, Burri, as well as sculptures by Canova and Bartolini. In the Villa, the arrangement of the furnishings has been left as unchanged as possible to preserve the atmosphere of a lived-in home: in fact, there are precious Empire furniture and objects, including the large malachite cup by Thomire, a gift from Tsar Alexander I to Napoleon, and furniture by Jacob. The restoration and transformation works of the Villa into a Museum have followed the most advanced criteria at an international level to ensure the perfect preservation of the artworks and the characteristics that make the Museum suitable for hosting even temporary exhibitions of the highest level. The Fondazione Magnani Rocca aims to be a cultural center not only for figurative arts but also for musical and literary activities, as was in the spirit of the Founder Luigi Magnani, attentive to the correspondences between the various artistic expressions.
