The Tazartes Collection located in Turin showcases creations from Italian artists Mino Rosso, Gerardo Dottori, and Mario Matera. Mino Rosso (24 January 1904 – 21 June 1963), a painter and sculptor, is recognized for his untitled ink drawing influenced by Turin's Porta Nuova. He became a member of the Turin Futurist group in 1926 and endorsed the Manifesto of Aeropittura in 1929. Gerardo Dottori (11 November 1884 – 13 June 1977) exhibited individually in Turin in 1929 and is represented by his pastel study for Il canto dei Laghi (1954). Mario Matera (30 July 1930 – 12 October 2003), a self-taught creator, is celebrated for his mixed-media artwork featuring a female face amidst stars.
