Fondazione Massimo e Sonia Cirulli’s goals are to promote knowledge of twentieth-century Italian art and visual culture from the early years of the country’s engagement with modernity to the postwar economic boom (1900-1970), and to organize exhibitions with a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from the Fondazione’s remarkable holdings.

The Fondazione’s headquarters is a building with a strong symbolic connotation in the context of twentieth-century Italian architecture and design, as it was envisioned by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1960 for Dino Gavina.
