Galleria de' Foscherari (art gallery), Bologna

The Galleria de’ Foscherari, established in the early 1960s, has consistently pursued its mission along two interconnected lines: a focus on established artistic traditions and a commitment to research and experimentation. In addition to hosting a robust schedule of exhibitions that have significantly influenced the city's cultural scene, the gallery also engages in editorial endeavors, including the production of catalogs, monographs, and a series of thematic notebooks curated by Pietro Bonfiglioli. Recently, selected notebooks from this series have been compiled and republished in the anthology "Il Notiziario della Galleria de' Foscherari (1965-1989)."
