The "Carlo Rizzarda" Museum of Modern Art
 

The "Carlo Rizzarda" Museum of Modern Art is a museum of decorative arts with a unique collection of early 20th century wrought ironwork. The museum was inaugurated in 1938 and contains both and extensive collection of works acquired by Rizzarda to furnish his house in Milan as well as a collection of objects in wrought iron that Rizzarda himself completed between 1910-1930.

The collection of paintings, furniture and objects of decorative arts includes works by Casorati, Carra',Marussig, Semeghini, Wildt and Scarpa, whereas the collection of over 400 pieces in forged iron, amongst which balustrades, lamps, gates and decorative elements, documents the gamut of posibilities within the art of wrought iron work.

 

This museum is unique, no where in the world will you find a vast collection of wrought iron work in one place. Carlo Rizzarda could create anything out of iron. When you see some of his work, there's only one question that wonders your mind; How did he do that? From one single piece of iron, he would make a branch of iron flowers, leaves and roses.
