Giuseppe Iannaccone on His Collection of Italian Expressionists at Triennale Milano

Giuseppe Iannaccone discusses his collection of Italian expressionist art from the 1920s to 1945, currently on view at Triennale Milano until March 19. The exhibition, curated by Alberto Salvadori and Rischa Paterlini, features works from Iannaccone's collection, which he describes as the only one uniting Italian expressionist artists of the 1930s. Iannaccone emphasizes his commitment to telling a complete and high-quality story, guided by spontaneity and independent decision-making despite advice from experts like Elena Pontiggia, Claudia Gian Ferrari, and Zeno Birolli. He highlights the importance of artists like Ottone Rosai, whose work "L'Attesa" (1920) opens the exhibition for its exploration of human fragility, and Scipione (Gino Bonichi), admired for transforming his tragic fate into revolutionary art. Iannaccone also collects contemporary art, seeking the same human emotions found in 1930s works. A series of talks titled "Arte in Italia negli anni Trenta," curated by Elena Pontiggia, runs until March 14 at Triennale, complementing the exhibition.
