Description

The MAON, Museum of Art of the nineteenth and twentieth century is located inside Palazzo Vitari, an 18th century building located in the historical centre of Rende. The Museum houses a permanent collection of works by Achille Capizzano. On display are also the works of other Calabrian artists (Rotella, Marasco, Di Sarro, Guerrieri, Gallo, Pirri, Berlingeri, Magli, ...) of the last forty years of the twentieth century. The Museum has acquired the model of the monument "Children's Bell Tower" of Bodega Bay (California), work by sculptor Bruce Hasson dedicated to the little Nicolas Green, killed in Calabria in 1994. In the summer of 2005 the collector Luigi Ladaga from Cosenza donated a collection of paintings, sculptures and graphic works by the major contemporary Italian and foreign artists (Picasso, Braque, Dali, Max Ernst, Balla, Campigli, Burri, Fontana, ...), and a thousand art books. Since 2012 is exhibited in the MAON a collection (from the second Futurism to abstract-concrete art) consisting of eighteen works on loan from the Fondazione Carmine Domenico Rizzo.
