James M. Bradburne Interviewed on Brera and His Eccentric Style in Artribune Magazine

James M. Bradburne, the British director of Milan's Pinacoteca di Brera, is featured in a wide-ranging interview by Daniele Perra in the upcoming issue of Artribune Magazine. Bradburne, who describes himself as an eccentric Englishman with a penchant for waistcoats, notes that most of his suits are made in Italy, with his favorite from Corneliani and fabrics donated by the Museo della Seta di Como. He embraces a 'Milanese' style while acknowledging he cannot match the elegance of a native Milanese. Beyond fashion, Bradburne delves into the 'Brera universe,' emphasizing the inseparable link between the Pinacoteca and the Accademia di Brera, with weekly meetings among directors and joint fundraising efforts. He asserts that Brera does not need temporary exhibitions, as they would be an act of 'lese majesty'; instead, the goal is to enhance and maximize the potential of the permanent collection. The interview promises further entertaining anecdotes.
