A Vision of Beauty and Discovery

Love for beauty can be manifested in many forms, from simply admiring a breathtaking sunset to the care put into designing everyday objects. However, for Stefano and Denise, the Art of Collecting Art specifically means exploring new forms of expression and falling in love with a vision every day.

By discovering and supporting emerging talents, they share a unique journey with the artists themselves. For these very reasons, they initially started collecting Modern Art and eventually moved toward Contemporary Art, which remains their current focus. Furthermore, this evolution reflects their desire to stay connected with the pulse of the present world while respecting the traditions of the past.

From Modern Masters to Contemporary Visions

The collection is a dialogue between different generations and styles. Notably, it includes works by world-renowned figures such as Niki de Saint Phalle and Pietro Consagra. These masters laid the foundation for a collection that is constantly evolving and looking toward the future.

In addition to these established names, Stefano and Denise are dedicated to scouting fresh perspectives. Their curated selection features a diverse range of artists, including:

• Piero Dorazio and Sebastian Matta: Masters of color and abstraction.
• Carla Accardi and Maria Lai: Exceptional women who redefined Italian art through textiles and signs.
• Emerging Talents: New voices such as Flaminia Veronesi, Ismaele Nones, and Marta Spagnoli.
• Contemporary Research: The evocative works of Adelisa Selimbiasic, Marta Naturale, and Chiara Enzo.

A Mission for the Future

The Art of Collecting Art at Mariae Nivis is intrinsically linked to the restoration of the monastery itself. Consequently, every piece chosen for the collection serves as a bridge between the spiritual silence of the ancient walls and the vibrant energy of modern creativity. In fact, the goal is to create a space where art is not just displayed but lived, fostering a community that values aesthetic research as a form of human growth.

By expanding their horizons, the Freschi & Vangelisti family continues to transform their private passion into a public mission of beauty. Therefore, Mariae Nivis 1567 stands as a testament to how art can become a lighthouse for a new, inspired future.
