Pier Luigi Guzzetti Opens Private Gallery in Milan to Display 40-Year Collection

Collector Pier Luigi Guzzetti has inaugurated Gallerie Guzzetti, a 300-square-meter basement exhibition space in Milan's Piazza Caneva, Cenisio/Mac Mahon zone. The gallery quietly began operations in April 2025 with minimal publicity, hosting private viewings by invitation and word-of-mouth. Guzzetti, known for his pre-Expo Rivoli2 project, established the venue to finally view his private collection of over 300 works amassed over four decades. The collection features a radically personal selection including 20th-century masters, emerging artists, unknown creators, and substantial photography. Current exhibition "La collezione è natura" presents 27 nature-themed works by artists including vedovamazzei, Ettore Favini, Anna Galtarossa, Pierre Alechinsky, Fatma Bucak, Linda Carrara, Laura Pugno, Francesco Jodice, Zoe Leonard, Janis Rafa, and Walker Evans. The space includes a video room and a 1970s-design lounge. Managed with Corinne Cortinovis, the gallery plans two annual shows with limited public openings; the current exhibition opened April 18-19, 2026. Future plans involve urban regeneration of Piazza Caneva in partnership with Park Associati architecture studio and Milan's municipality, aiming for public art installations by 2027.
