The
“Umberto Mastroianni” Museum, or permanent
exhibition of the Umberto Mastroianni Donation was born
on 24th April 1993, realized by the Provincial Administration
of Frosinone with the Town Council Administration of
Arpino, thanks to the initiative and constant interest
of the Hon. Massimo Struffi (at the time Senator of
the Republic), with Agreement Protocol of 25th February
1993, later reformulated and ratified by the Foundation
itself with the Province of Frosinone and the Town Council
of Arpino on 10th March and 24th March 2000.
Apart from the permanent exhibition of the Mastroianni
Donation, sections dedicated to Domenico and Alberto
Mastroianni, Marcello, Ruggero, Federica, Barbara and
Chiara Mastroianni and the “Mastroianni Ceramists”
are being organized, which will allow the Foundation
not only to take care of the historical image of a great
Maestro of Contemporary Art, but at the same time, to
promote the historical-artistic value of the whole family
and to express the intellectual needs of a population
and of a territory whose roots are buried in classic
civilization.
The section dedicated to Modern and Contemporary Art,
in particular to the most significant artists of the
Province of Frosinone such as Federico Gismondi, Adolfo
Loreti, Vittorio Miele, Fernando Rea, Giancarlo Riccardi
and Italo Scelza, was inaugurated on 20th May 2001,
during the 21st Certamen Ciceronianum Arpinas.
The works of other important Italian and foreign artists,
such as Vincenzo Balsamo, Eugenio Carmi, Gaetano Carboni,
Luca Dall’Olio, Emanuele Floridia, Vadim Grinberg,
Floriano Ippoliti, Antonio Lombardi, Gino Marotta, Sergio
Lancioni, Antoni Mirò, Renato Missaglia, Maurizio
Romani and Alberto Sughi are also present in the museum.
