Chronogram Magazine: Cold Spring Museum Magazzino Breaks Ground on a New Building

When Magazzino opened in June 2017, “not exactly a museum, or a gallery,” with 18,000 square feet of exhibition space dedicated exclusively to showcasing and uplifting postwar and contemporary Italian art, it was, well…unprecedented, to say the least. Here, on the side Route 9, outside the quaint upstate village of Cold Spring, in a one-time agricultural storehouse turned computer factory turned art warehouse, a world-class collection of avant-garde Italian art was to be housed. I’d venture to say that, at the time, it was an elite few in the Hudson Valley who were even familiar with the Arte Povera movement.
