Operational since 2011, the Department of Design and Decorative Arts of the Twentieth Century offers an accurate search of works ranging from the early twentieth century with the Art Nouveau and Art Déco movements, passing through the post-war years up to what we can today consider contemporary design. The careful selection of names and works is curated by the department manager Luigi Bosa, one of the most accredited figures in the Italian design sector and by Marta Plebani, who has coordinated the department since 2019. No less important is the attention to glass Murano, a sector in which Francesco Toniatti offers his skills as an important expert in Venetian glass manufacturing. In 2023 Gaia Barbieri became part of the team, taking care of cataloging and archiving the lots and drafting the condition reports. Thanks to the important results achieved to date, the department is able to satisfy a constantly evolving taste.
