San Patrignano's Contemporary Art Collection Housed at New PART Museum in Rimini
The documentary series 'Sanpa' on Netflix, which explores the San Patrignano drug rehabilitation community and its founder Vincenzo Muccioli, has ignited discussions in Italy. The community's art collection, known as Collezione San Patrignano, is now permanently displayed at PART – Palazzi dell'Arte Rimini. This initiative, led by Clarice Pecori Giraldi, features 60 mixed-media pieces donated to the Fondazione San Patrignano, overseen by Letizia Moratti. Before settling at PART, the collection traveled to various locations. Notable artists in the collection include David Tremlett and Damien Hirst, among others. Established in 1978, San Patrignano currently accommodates 1,200 individuals at no cost and has supported 26,000 in total, also producing wine, crafts, and cosmetics. Moratti highlighted the collection's influences from Anglo-Saxon foundations.
