The permanent collection can be visited with free admission and upon booking, according to the wishes of the founder Achille Maramotti (Online booking: http://bit.ly/YourBooking). It consists of several hundred works of art that date from 1945 to the present, of which something more than two hundred are on permanent display as an in-depth presentation of a number of the central artistic tendencies, both Italian and international, of the second half of the 20th century. Ever since the opening of Collezione Maramotti, its permanent collection has been flanked by a systematic program of exhibitions and commissioned projects in the areas of the building which specifically function as venues for temporary events. The Collection looks ahead toward the future of art and sees it as a continuum consistent with the attention the Collection has always shown to the evolution of new artistic languages, especially in the area of painting and the critical investigation into the nature of the work of art. In addition, through collaboration projects developed throughout the years, events such as concerts, performances of contemporary ballet, lectures and conversations linked to visual art projects have been organized and presented. Visits to temporary exhibitions and projects are always free, without reservation, during the opening hours of the Collection.
