The show

In October 2019, the G. Gianetti Ceramic Museum celebrated its 25th anniversary since the opening of the house-museum, the Gianetti collection and the exhibition spaces. On that occasion, some small unusual places in the house were inaugurated: the built-in wardrobes and the master bathroom, set up with objects from the Gianetti-Biffi families.

These spaces have become an opportunity to kick off a further project involving local collectors/antique dealers.

The idea, already planned in 2020, but unfortunately postponed, is to recreate a continuity between the collector Giuseppe Gianetti and today's collectors; starting from Gianetti's correspondence with antique dealers, to show how a unique collection is born, like the one conserved in the Museum.


The first guest will be the antiquarian Subert and his collection.

The history of the Subert gallery dates back over 150 years: it began way back in 1860, when Emanuele Subert opened in Milan and became a point of reference for museums and collectors including Frederick Stibbert, in Florence, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, the Consulta of the National Archaeological Museum and the Bagatti Valsecchi brothers, in Milan; the objects covered range from weapons, furnishings, ancient fabrics, sacred art, archaeology, jewelery and ceramics.

Since 2013 Michele Subert, continuing the family tradition, has expanded the collection thanks to his interest in Italian art from the 16th to the 19th century, in particular on collector's items.

There will be Renaissance and eighteenth-century ceramics on display, curious objects such as an atelier mannequin, or table globes of English production and Italian glass from the 1950s.
