The nucleus of the collection originated when, following the organization of exhibitions and artistic festivals, some sculptors donated sketches and models to the city. At the same time, a photographic and documentary archive was created. From that moment on it was a succession of donations from artists and artisans, which allowed the collection to grow year after year and now more than 700 sketches, models of sculptures by Italian and international artists, mainly in plaster, are on display.

Ma cosa sono i bozzetti?

I bozzetti sono l'origine dell'idea creativa, in scala ridotta e i modelli, lo sono in dimensioni reali. Essi rappresentano quella che è l'idea iniziale dello scultore prima della sua traduzione in un'opera compiuta. Le dimensioni dei bozzetti, variano da pochi centimetri a qualche metro e sono realizzati in vari materiali, soprattutto gesso. Come già accennato, la collezione museale raccoglie oggi circa 700 bozzetti e modelli di sculture di più di 350 artisti italiani e stranieri, tra i quali figurano i maggiori scultori di questo secolo, che hanno svolto o tuttora svolgono la propria attività presso i laboratori artigiani della zona. Sono rappresentati, tra gli altri, maestri come Henri Georges Adam, André Bloc, Helaine Blumenfeld, Fernando Botero, Antonio Bozzano, Davide Calandra, Arturo Carmassi, Pietro Cascella, César, Pietro Consagra, Niki De Saint Phalle, Novello Finotti, Jean Michel Folon, Gonzalo Fonseca, Rosalda Gilardi, Emile Gilioli, Gigi Guadagnucci, Jean Robert Ipousteguy, Igor Mitoraj, Costantino Nivola, Isamu Noguchi, Maria Papa, Alicia Penalba, Beverly Pepper, Gio’ Pomodoro, Edoardo Rubino, Carlo Sergio Signori, Ivan Theimer, Giuliano Vangi, Leone Tommasi, Kan Yasuda.

But what are the sketches?

The sketches or Bozzetti, are the origin of the creative idea, on a small scale and the models are in real size. They represent what is the sculptor's initial idea before his translation into a completed work. The dimensions of the sketches vary from a few centimetres to a few metres and are made of various materials, especially plaster. As already mentioned, the museum collection now contains about 700 sketches and models of sculptures by more than 350 Italian and foreign artists, including the most important sculptors of this century, who have worked or still work in the artisan laboratories of the area. Masters such as Henri Georges Adam, André Bloc, Helaine Blumenfeld, Fernando Botero, Antonio Bozzano, Davide Calandra, Arturo Carmassi, Pietro Cascella, César, Pietro Consagra, Niki De Saint Phalle, Novello Finotti, Jean Michel Folon, Gonzalo Fonseca, Rosalda Gilardi, Emile Gilioli, Gigi Guadagnucci, Jean Robert Ipousteguy, Igor Mitoraj, Costantino Nivola, Isamu Noguchi, Maria Papa, Alicia Penalba, Beverly Pepper, Gio’ Pomodoro, Edoardo Rubino, Carlo Sergio Signori, Ivan Theimer, Giuliano Vangi, Leone Tommasi, Kan Yasuda.

The works made on the basis of these sketches are found in museums, collections and parks all over the world, so visiting the exhibition you can have an overview of the various artistic trends that have gone through the twentieth century and thus have a broad and comprehensive view of contemporary sculpture.
