Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale. Collezione Farnesina

With the creation of the Collezione Farnesina in 2001, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has made of contemporary artistic research an area of strategic intervention of its cultural policy.The acquisition formula based on loan agreements, free of charge, has led to a steady development of the collection through particularly relevant works for the history of Italian art in the 20th century: from Arturo Martini to Mario Sironi, from Carla Accardi to Jannis Kounellis.
