Giorgio Fasol's Donation Founds Contemporary Art Center at University of Verona

The University of Verona's Santa Marta complex now houses over 100 works from the Anna and Giorgio Fasol Collection, donated in 2024 after being on loan since 2019. The donation led to the establishment of the Center for Contemporary Art and Languages – Museum of the Contemporary UniVr in 2025, directed by Riccardo Panattoni with Monica Molteni as scientific director. The collection is distributed across university sites including Veronetta, Ca' Vignal, and others, with the Santa Marta location chosen for its immersive ecosystem. Works are arranged by weight for conservation: heavy sculptures in the basement Sculpture Gardens, lighter pieces on upper floors, and photographs in the library. Notable works include Valentina Miorandi's 'Bread' (2012), Andrea Francolino's 'Performance di una pianta' (2013-15), Ivan Moudov's 'Performing Time' (2012), Conrad Ventur's installation featuring Marlene Dietrich, Otto Berchem's 'Dive for Dreams' (2017), Shilpa Gupta's 'Untitled' (2006), Adrian Paci's 'Princess' (2003), and Apparatus 22's 'V1' (2017). Collector Giorgio Fasol explained his acquisition process combines rational and emotional factors, with no single favorite piece.
