La Seduzione del Bello

The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum presents a selection of paintings from the Gastaldi Rotelli collection in the major exhibition entitled ‘La Seduzione del Bello. Capolavori Segreti tra ‘600 e ‘700″ (“The Seduction of Beauty. Secret masterpieces between the 17th and 18th centuries”).
Fifty masterpieces leave their usual residence for the first time all together to enter the neo-Renaissance rooms of Via Gesù and enter into dialogue with the eclectic 15th and 16th century permanent collection that the brothers Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi assembled at the end of the 19th century. With this exhibition, the House Museum is thus configured as a “House of Collections“, creating an interesting as well as unprecedented reflection on the role of private collecting, its history and consequent valorisation and fruition in the contemporary age.
