About the museum
The house in Via Giorgio Jan is an early-1930s building designed by the architect Piero Portaluppi. It was lived in by Antonio Boschi (1896–1988), an engineer at Pirelli, and his wife Marieda Di Stefano (1901–1968), who over time built a large collection of 20th-century Italian art.
In 1974 Antonio Boschi donated the collection to the Municipality of Milan, asking that a selection of the works return to the house where he had lived with his wife. A second donation followed after his death in 1988. The Fondazione Boschi Di Stefano was created in 1998 from an agreement between the heirs and the Municipality to carry out Boschi’s testamentary wishes, and the house museum opened to the public on 5 February 2003.
Of over 2,000 works, around 300 are on display in eleven rooms, arranged chronologically. The route includes paintings, sculptures and drawings from the early 20th century to the late 1960s, with works by Severini, Boccioni, Funi, Marussig, Carrà, Casorati, Morandi, De Pisis, Fontana and Manzoni, and a room devoted to Mario Sironi with the dining room he designed in 1936. The foundation also holds the library of the art historian Ettore Camesasca, with over 2,300 volumes.
