FRIENDS OF THE POLDI PEZZOLI MUSEUM ASSOCIATION
GENOA, 28 NOVEMBER 2006
Friends of the Poldi Pezzoli Museum Association was set up in 1960 by an enthusiastic group of Milanese residents who were keen to support the Museum in all its artistic and institutional activities. Over the years, the Association has promoted a variety of initiatives aimed at supporting artistic heritage, spread cultural activities and promote the awareness of the Museum, its prestige and the high quality of its collections, in both Italy and abroad. Today, there are many members, supporters, benefactors and patrons and the Association actively takes part in the life of the Poldi Pezzoli. Indeed, it is a real partner for the Museum and ably supports the new cultural objectives of the Museum. It also shares the Museum’s strategies within the dynamic Direzione Artistica. One of the Association’s most important activities is the collection of funds for the Museum’s countless new projects. In 2000, it made a significant contribution for the design of the Weaponry Room, created by the sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro, containing one of Europe’s richest collections of antique arms and weaponry. In 2001, it contributed towards the purchase of audio-guides and in 2009 it collected € 30,000 for the realisation of a new sign and indication system in the Museum with English being introduced for the first time. Furthermore, the Association promotes donations that enrich the Museum’s collections, as in the case of the “Group Portrait of Gian Giacomo Trivulzio’s Children” by Giambattista Gigola and of the “Black Cavalier” by Giovanni Battista Moroni. http://www.museopoldipezzoli.it/
