The Magnani-Rocca Foundation is located in the splendid Villa dei Capolavori, a few kilometers from the city of Parma. It is considered one of the most active museums on the Italian cultural scene for the exceptional nature of the permanent collection, for the importance of the exhibitions it organizes every year and for the prestigious collaborations with the main museums around the world. Inside the Villa dei Capolavori by Mamiano di Traversetolo is housed the prestigious collection of Luigi Magnani which includes, among others, works by Gentile da Fabriano, Filippo Lippi, Carpaccio, Dürer, Tiziano, Rubens, Van Dyck, Goya and, among the contemporaries, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, up to De Chirico, De Pisis, 50 works by Morandi, Burri, as well as sculptures by Canova and Bartolini. In the Villa the location of the furnishings has been left as unchanged as possible to preserve the atmosphere of a lived-in home: we find, in fact, precious Empire furniture and objects, including the large malachite bowl by Thomire, a gift from Tsar Alexander I to Napoleon , and Jacob's furniture. The restoration and transformation of the Villa into a Museum followed the most advanced international criteria to guarantee the perfect conservation of the works of art and the characteristics that make the Museum suitable for hosting temporary exhibitions of the highest level. The Magnani Rocca Foundation proposes itself as a cultural center not only for figurative arts but also for musical and literary activities, as was the spirit of the Founder Luigi Magnani, attentive to the correspondences between the various artistic expressions.
