A new space with a long story to tell
In the M45 logo there is the whole history of this location.
Between the M and the 45 a cut: a line divides and breaks.
The cut recalls the works of Lucio Fontana, who right here in via Manzoni 45, in the then Galleria del Naviglio – a hotbed of avant-garde – exhibited for the first time and presented his concept of “spatialism”.
Within the logo, both an historical address and a graphic element referenced and which represents the “meeting line” of the two owners.
The passion for art is our most important experience
The dream of creating a shared space that could welcome all those who love to collect works of art was born from the experience of two professionals.
