Summary note

"This collection of works by Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) is among the largest and most significant of the Italian master's output. Assembled over two decades in close collaboration with Morandi, the collection comprises fifty works, each one hand-selected and acquired by Luigi Magnani (1906-1984). Magnani's deep admiration for Morandi's work and character is evidenced by the range of subject matter, techniques, and periods he collected, together forming a cohesive and exemplary whole. The enduring friendship between the two men, despite Morandi's famously reclusive nature, underscores the exceptional nature of this collection and the circumstances under which it was formed." -- Publisher's website.
