The MAGI'900 is a private art museum in Pieve di Cento , a municipality in the Po Valley in Emilia-Romagna . The museum was born from an idea of ​​the entrepreneur and contemporary art collector Giulio Bargellini, who decided in 2000 to open a space where he could share his passion with the public.

museum

Over 2000 works of contemporary art on 9000 square meters of exhibition space, which expand into an industrial archeology building - a granary silo from the 1930s. Thanks to a project by the architect Giuseppe Davanzo, the silo was converted into a museum, to which two new exhibition structures and a large garden dedicated to sculpture were added in the following years.

collection

The extensive, heterogeneous and high-quality collection offers a journey into Italian and international art of the last hundred years. The eclectic taste and friendship with the artists, the passions and intuitions of their founder and a permanent exhibition and proactive activity have in fact led to the creation of a permanent collection that includes many movements: from the Belle Époque to the latest trends, from from the bright futuristic colors to the metaphysical bronze sculptures by Giorgio de Chirico , from the Maestri Storici del Novecento to the avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s, from hundreds of miniature images from the Collezione Minima 8x10 , which belonged to Cesare Zavattini, to the production of African and South American ones Artist. Many are the names of well-known and historicized artists, but many are also the lesser-known artists whose professionalism and originality are nevertheless characterized by a thematic core layout that differs from the most widespread models in the contemporary museum scene. The artists include:
