Giuseppe Panza was a pioneering figure who started assembling his collection around 1954 after visiting the United States for the first time. This is where he encountered abstract expressionists and over the years, became fascinated with Pop, Minimalism, environmental art, and Conceptualism. Throughout the years, together with his wife Giovanna, Panza has gathered some 2,500 works that were held in their 18th-century home in Varese Villa Menafoglia Litta, outside Milan.
