Fondazione Nicola Trussardi

The Nicola Trussardi Foundation is a non-profit private institution founded in Milan in 1996. Beatrice Trussardi has chaired the Foundation since 1999, and in 2002 appointed Massimiliano Gioni to the post of Artistic Director. In January 2003, after many years of activity in the exhibition spaces of Palazzo Marino alla Scala, the Nicola Trussardi Foundation has decided to explore new territories and modes of presenting contemporary art, by pushing the boundaries of the spaces traditionally devoted to today’s creativity. The Foundation’s activity is financially supported not only by its three founders, Beatrice, Maria Luisa and Gaia Trussardi, but also by private patrons that support its mission and embrace its model. On the occasion of specific projects the Foundation also receives sponsorships from corporate companies, institutions and others who act as a partner or a sponsor.
