"The Bisazza Foundation has a dual vocation: it is intended as an exhibition space to bring together works and installations by contemporary designers and architects who, over the course of the last 20 years, have created original applications for mosaics," state Piero and Rossella Bisazza, respectively the President and Vice-President of the Foundation. "It is also proposed as a cultural subject in continuous interaction with other international institutions for the purposes of hosting projects and exhibitions of design and architecture, not necessarily associated with mosaics".
The spaces of the Foundation cover an area of approximately 4000 square meters. In the past, they were reserved for Bisazza's production. They were then renovated and adapted for holding exhibitions, thanks to architect Carlo Dal Bianco's redevelopment project. The ample permanent collection consists of installations by designers as Tord Boontje, Aldo Cibic, Sandro Chia, Jaime Hayon, Alessandro Mendini, Fabio Novembre, Mimmo Paladino, Andrée Putman, Ettore Sottsass, Studio Job, Patricia Urquiola and Marcel Wanders. There is also an area 2,000 m2 dedicated to exhibitions and installations of internationally famous designers from foreign institutions. The Foundation's aim is to interact and dialogue with other design and architecture foundations and museums in order to create a network.
