The Venue
Casa Testori is located, in the outskirts of Milan, in the early 20th-century Giovanni Testori’s house, a versatile intellectual of the last century who died in 1993. Casa Testori is a cultural centre that focuses on contemporary art: a free exhibition space devoted to experimentation with particular attention to emerging artists. It operates in collaboration with associations and local institutions and represents a point of reference for learning from Testori’s past and experience, so as to encourage the development of new skills and languages through constant active research. In this hub, which houses a permanent collection and a large library testifying to Testori’s diverse cultural interests, an intense programme of exhibitions and projects involving both schools and the local area is realised.
