The collection is largely the creation of Juan and Felix Bernasconi (died 1920 and 1914
respectively). Both were pro minent in Milanese art circles at the end of the 19th and
beginning of the 20th centuries and bought extensively from contemporary painters, notably
Mosè Bianchi, Luigi Rossi, Pompeo Mariani and Giorgio Belloni. The collection they formed
constitutes the largest concentration of works by those masters in private hands, and few have
been seen by the public since the artists' lifetimes.
