The Foundation today
The museum that ascends
Thanks to the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo, Fondazione Boschi Di Stefano has curated the project “THE MUSEUM THAT ASCENDS – Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano between creative hub and urban regeneration” in partnership with the Municipality of Milan. The project has enabled:
- improved accessibility through the installation of a retractable elevating platform for people with motor disabilities or reduced mobility and the adaptation of the historic elevator;
- the creation of a new cultural program, “The Museum Next Door”, which includes didactic and educational activities for schools of all grades, artist workshops in the former School of Ceramics and a program of thematic and in-depth guided tours;
- the development of new multimedia tools to implement museum visits through digital technologies and new devices.

Podcast
A new way to discover and visit Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, a walk with special guests who gave voice and “sound” to the rooms and works and brought to life an original journey through eras and stories. An authorial podcast, written and narrated by Valerio Millefoglie, produced thanks to the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo and in collaboration with the Municipality of Milan.
The music, composed live during the recording sessions, is by Angelo Trabace, who performed on the Bechstein piano located in the main hall.
The podcast was recorded by Piero Tacconi.
Audio Tour
Explore Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano
directly from your smartphone!
The audio tracks welcome you from the building’s entrance on Via Jan 15 and guide you through the eleven rooms of Casa Museo, leading you to discover Antonio Boschi and Marieda Di Stefano and their extraordinary collection of 20th-century Italian art.
The audio guide was created by Fondazione Boschi Di Stefano, in collaboration with Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, thanks to the contribution of Fondazione Cariplo as part of the “Per la cultura – 2020” call for proposals.
Publications
The “Companion Guides”
of Fondazione Boschi Di Stefano
are non-periodic publications designed to document specific aspects related to the Boschi Di Stefano Collection. These include insights into the artworks, the figures of the collectors and their families, and the Milanese cultural environment in which the collection matured and developed during the central years of the last century.
Small guides on the contents of Casa Museo have been published; the first, The Works, and the second, The Furnishings, respectively with texts by Maria Teresa Fiorio and Ornella Selvafolta, illustrate the museum’s itinerary room by room.
Three Family Albums have also been created: no. 1, dedicated to Marieda Di Stefano’s family and adolescence, was introduced by Alessandro Mendini, her grandson; while no. 2, focused on Mr. and Mrs. Boschi’s married life, with particular emphasis on their free time and the vacation places they frequented together, is accompanied by a text by Ezio Antonini. Concluding the series is No. 3, centred around the couple’s journeys, with an introduction by Giacomo Corna Pellegrini.
In memory of a series of concerts organized in the museum in 2003, it had already been published the notebook L’aria della sera, edited by Francesco Degrada.
The books are not intended for sale, but to promote the value of Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano.
