La Galleria Ricci Oddi di Piacenza è stata rinnovata. Ecco com’è cambiata dopo i lavori (finanziati dai cittadini)
La Galleria d'Arte Moderna Ricci Oddi in Piacenza, Italy, has completed a year-long renovation and reinstallation project, reopening to the public on April 28. The work, designed pro bono by Milanese studio Lissoni & Partners and funded by citizens, restored the original architecture by Giulio Ulisse Arata, emphasizing a central panopticon and natural zenithal light. The museum remained partially open during construction, which refreshed all 22 rooms and over 1,000 square meters of space, aiming to reconnect the collection with its purpose-built building.
The renovation matters because it revitalizes a historic institution that houses over 1,000 works, including a legendary Klimt, and preserves a rare example of a museum built specifically for a private collection in Italy. By restoring the founder Giuseppe Ricci Oddi's vision and improving the visitor experience, the project ensures the gallery's continued relevance and accessibility, demonstrating how community-funded initiatives can sustain cultural heritage.
