Milano, the plaque in memory of the artist Marino Marini was discovered.

In Piazza Mirabello 2, a stone's throw from the Brera Academy, a plaque placed on the wall of the house where he lived and worked for over thirty years, will remember the artist of Tuscan origins, Marino Marini. Internationally renowned sculptor and painter, with his professional activity and teaching at the Academy, he brought prestige to Milano becoming its honorary citizen in 1972.

The Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Milano, Tommaso Sacchi, the President of the Marino Marini Foundation, Carlo Ferdinando Carnacini, and the representative of the condominiums in via Mirabello 2, David Pambianco, participated in the ceremony in memory of the artist which culminated with the unveiling of the plaque.

Marino Marini has lived in his Milanese home from 1946, as soon as the war ended, to 1980, the year of his death. Divided between Milano and Florence, commits his life to art and creativity, exhibiting his collections in the most important museums in the world.

Precisely to testify to the privileged bond with the city of Milano, Marino Marini and his wife, Mercedes Pedrazzini, donated an important group of works signed by him in 1972 and 1986. These works, together with others acquired by the Municipality of Milano, are now exhibited on the fourth floor of the Museo del Novecento in a splendid room dedicated to the artist, set up by the architect Italo Rota in 2019 in direct dialogue with the Duomo.
