Gianvito Rossi Sponsors Depero Space to Space Exhibition

Gianvito Rossi has become the main sponsor of Depero Space to Space: The Creation of Memory, an exhibition presented in collaboration with Mart Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto and staged as part of the Milan Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympics.

Set within the rooms of the Bagatti Valsecchi House Museum in Milan, the project frames the museum as an immersive environment where collecting, design, and artistic identity unfold as a curated experience.

A House Museum as a Stage for Two Visions of Time

The exhibition connects two parallel ambitions shaped in different eras. The Bagatti Valsecchi brothers created a home that embraced Renaissance spirit through paintings and applied arts, transforming domestic space into a personal cultural statement. Fortunato Depero later pursued a related impulse through his Casa d’arte futurista in Rovereto, shaping a museum setting that held his works and his artistic worldview.

Here, rooms become theatrical in feeling, with objects and artworks arranged as sequences of memory. The experience moves through the 1930s to the 1950s, bringing Depero’s late Futurist research into dialogue with the Bagatti Valsecchi permanent collection.

A Designed Journey by A Fact

To heighten the sense of spatial storytelling, the exhibition includes an installation concept developed by A Fact architecture studio in Milan. The design emphasizes the placement of works inside a residential context, inviting visitors to experience art as part of a lived interior rhythm rather than a conventional gallery route.

Selected spaces include a sound dimension created by Gaetano Cappa of the Barlumen Institute, enriching the atmosphere and extending the exhibition into a sensory narrative.

Why This Matters to The One Percent

For Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, collecting remains a defining expression of cultural alignment and personal legacy. The Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2025 shows that HNW collectors allocated an average of 20 percent of their wealth to art in 2025, with Ultra High Net Worth Individuals holding assets above 50 million dollars allocating an average of 28 percent.

The same survey sampled 3,100 collectors across key global markets and reflects strong engagement with museums, fairs, and private cultural institutions.

Within that wider collecting landscape, abstract art continues to hold a quiet role in refined collections as an enduring language of form, material, and mood, especially when presented through a setting that elevates atmosphere and authorship.
