29.10.2020 Yesmilano Students Meet Photographer Marco Piraccini

Online, live from the exhibition.

Marco Piraccini was born in the Romagna region where he learned the art of dreaming.

A clinical psychologist, he left the profession and moved to Milano to study music and photography. He became a young celebrrity photographer covering concerts, backstage and everything related to music stars.

Interested in portraying the Artist as he expresses himself, Marco has worked over the years with some of the most important Italian and international singers through on-stage photographs aiming to portray the personality of the subject.

The stage and the dressing room are the dimensions in which Piraccini’s photography most expresses its strength in capturing the beauty of the sitter’s uniqueness in his smile. 

When the lockdown stopped and live performances will not be the same for a long while, he became a witness of a lonely, beautiful Milano.

04.06.2020 Casa Boschi Di Stefano Virtual Live Tour

Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, opened in 2003, represents a journey through the Italian art of the twentieth century.

The spouses Antonio Boschi and Marieda Di Stefano were fond for collecting art and cultivated sincere and direct relationships with many artists among the greatest on the Italian and international scene. Throughout their life, they collected an impressive amount of works of art in what was their home. They left the apartment, together with the whole art collection to the Municipality of Milan in 1973.

Now a public house museum with free entranceit showcases about three hundred  Twentieth-Century art masterpieces, out of the over two thousand pieces that form the collection. The eleven rooms of the house have been set up as a picture gallery, which still retains the flavour of an actual house. Furnishings (that mostly aren't the original ones) were carefully chosen by the Foundation Boschi di Stefano to match with the arworks.
