Presentazione

Collecto is a journey through paleontology, archaeology, and art that begins in the distant past—4.5 billion years ago—with a fascinating pallasite meteorite (among the rarest of its kind), hurled onto our planet after traveling 160 million kilometers into Earth’s gravitational field. A mass of iron and nickel with a powerful sculptural presence, it reveals much about the history of the Universe.

From there, the journey reaches the present day with works by Arcangelo Sassolino, Nico Vascellari, Giorgio Andreotta Calò, and others, passing through Pre-Columbian, African, and Oceanic art, as well as masters such as Ambrogio Lorenzetti, Leonardo, Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and Giambattista Tiepolo. It moves beyond boundaries, connecting civilizations and cultures that may seem distant and diverse.

Rather than following a strictly chronological order, the exhibition unfolds through key stages in the evolution of humanity and explores the great themes that have always shaped human experience: birth and death, beauty, prestige and power, ancestors and deities.
