In Lombardia la Fondazione dello scultore Giancarlo Sangregorio inaugura un nuovo spazio dentro un parco

The Fondazione Giancarlo Sangregorio in Sesto Calende, near Varese, has inaugurated a new exhibition space called Spazio Luce, created from the renovation of an old rural building. The space opens with the show "Incontri. Da Fontana a Baj, da Rotella a Mondino. Una collezione svelata," curated by Lorella Giudici, featuring 34 works from Sangregorio's personal collection, including pieces by Lucio Fontana, Enrico Baj, Mimmo Rotella, Aldo Mondino, and Giancarlo Sangregorio himself. The exhibition runs from May 16 to September 27, 2026.

The opening matters because it strengthens the connection between the foundation and the local territory while preserving and showcasing the artistic legacy of sculptor Giancarlo Sangregorio (1925–2013). Spazio Luce is dedicated to temporary exhibitions, meetings, and projects by young artists, ensuring that Sangregorio's collection—built through friendships and collaborations with major Italian postwar artists—continues to inspire new generations and remain accessible to the public.
