The Casamonti Collection is a place entirely dedicated to modern and contemporary art in a space located on the piano nobile of Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni, a Renaissance architectural masterpiece by Baccio d'Agnolo, overlooking the visual axis that connects Piazza Santa Trinita with the prestigious Via Tornabuoni.
The ancient residence houses the selection of works that collector Roberto Casamonti, in his long activity in the art world, has put together to constitute the main body of his Collection.
The works that make up the collection, paintings and sculptures that are the fruit of years of passionate research, are divided into two different sections and exhibited in rotation. The first section is entitled From the Early 20th Century to the 1960s; the second section is entitled From the 1960s to the Early 21st Century. Temporary exhibitions are regularly organised, again of modern and contemporary art.
Overall, the Casamonti Collection constitutes a collection capable of representing the exceptional historical and artistic development spanning the entire 20th century.
