MAAAPO - Arena Po Environmental Art Museum

The MAAAPO, Arena Po Environmental Art Museum, is a Municipal Museum designed specifically to establish a relationship between art and the environment, for this reason the works are placed outdoors and are easily accessible to visitors at any time of day and of the night, as they are also illuminated from dusk to dawn. The fundamental principle is to affirm the relationship between culture and nature. Designed and founded by the artist Gaetano Grillo who in a few years has already collected many works by internationally renowned artists, works on loan but also donated and produced on site by some artists.

Currently, the works (sculptures and murals) on show were made by the Masters: ITALO ANTICO, GIANNI ASDRUBALI, ALIK CAVALIERE, GIANNI CELLA, OMAR GALLIANI, MICHELANGELO GALLIANI, ISABELA GEBARUS, GAETANO GRILLO, ANTONIO IEVOLELLA, GIUSEPPE MARANIELLO, RENZOGALLO, MARIKA RICCHI, MARCO NEREO ROTELLI, NICOLA SALVATORE, ALDO SPOLDI, COSTAS VAROTSOS, WAL.
The route mainly winds through the streets of the historic center and on the former river bank, today a walk on the artificial oxbow lake built close to the bank of the Po, between the parish church of one thousand and twenty-two and the medieval castle "Torre dè Beccaria”.

The MAAAPO is chaired by the emeritus High Magistrate Livia Pomodoro (President of the Brera Academy), has as its artistic director the Maestro Gaetano Grillo (founder of the Museum) and is equipped with a Scientific Committee coordinated by the art historian Prof. Flavio Caroli.

The Museum is constantly expanding and acquiring new works selected by the Director and the Scientific Committee.
