Patrizio Di Massimo's Portrait of Roberto Bolle Acquired by Museo del Novecento
Patrizio Di Massimo's painting 'Beauty Will Save the World (Roberto Bolle)' has entered the collection of the Museo del Novecento in Milan. The large portrait of the étoile was donated by the artist together with Roberto Bolle and Galleria Gió Marconi. Di Massimo, born in Jesi in 1983, is known for his figurative works that blend biographical experience, memory, desire, and representation. His subjects—friends, family, artists, dancers—become protagonists in a theater of identity. The acquisition marks a significant addition to the museum's holdings, reflecting Di Massimo's exploration of relationships, desires, fragility, and identity forms.
