Imagine Italy was only a drive away... well here in the Hudson Valley, a glimpse of it actually is! If you want to experience the artwork of Italy without the hassle of traveling, then join us on this Road Trip: Close to Home to Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring. “Magazzino means ‘warehouse’ in Italian and we opened in 2017. This is our fifth anniversary and we’ve been showcasing Italian art from the late 60s until today,” says Vittorio Calabrese, Magazzino Italian art director.

Eight different galleries will take you through the world of two exhibitions. One is dedicated to an Italian movement of the 1960s. “The idea is that those artists were experimenting with materials that are not usually used in the art practice; they were uncommon,” explains Calabrese.
