Art patrons in via Jan

From 1927, when they got married, to the end of the Eighties, Antonio Boschi and Marieda Di Stefano spent their life collecting works of art in their elegant apartment on via Giorgio Jan 15.
They were mainly interested in modern art, and became friendly with promising young Italian artists, many of whom were living in poverty and were literally fed by Antonio and Marieda. Some of them would become the great masters of the 20th Century.

Collectors are often victims to their hobby, and the golden couple was no exception. In 1975, when Antonio donated to the city of Milano his apartment and all its content, the collection included more than two thousands works. Now a selection of over two hundred pieces is on display, yet every wall in every room in the house is literally covered with paintings.
The Boschi Di Stefano museum-home still resonates with the laughters and chats and music played in the vast living room, where visitors may sit in the comfortable sofas and lose themselves in the simphony of colours that fills the air.

Enjoy!
Back to corso Buenos Aires, walk towards piazza Loreto, then turn right in via Spontini. There you will find Pizzeria Spontini. If you like pizza soft yet crispy, covered with thick layers of mozzarella, that's the place to be. Only two options are available: normal, and big. No frills, here. All substance. Good substance.
