Overview
The Fondazione Angelo Bozzola was set up on 14 March 1997 at the wish of the artist himself, with a gift of two hundred works to be kept at Galliate, in the Province of Novara, in Piedmont — the town where he was based.
The Museo Civico Angelo Bozzola, housed in the Castello Sforzesco of Galliate, shows them.
History
The collection covers the whole span of Bozzola’s work: the beginnings in the early 1950s, the years of the MAC — the Movimento Arte Concreta — the more independent research of the 1960s and 1970s, and the late production.
What you see
Painting and sculpture together, arranged so that the sequence of the artist’s phases can be followed in one visit, inside the rooms of the castle.
