The Milan International Modern and Contemporary Art Fair reaches its 14th edition with the ambition of acting as a crucial meeting point for Italian and international art. That is why the Milan fair, which for years has showcased the best Italian collections of the twentieth century, has searched for a specialist for the 2009 edition who will be responsible for redefining the concept of the show in order to position it better on a national as well as an international level.

MiArt will take place from 27th March to 30th March with the intention of presenting a notorious art scene. This will be a reference point for collectors, art curators, artists and directors of prestigious museums.

This year’s edition releases a comprehensive overview of the artistic world through three different artistic variations: Modern Art, Contemporary Art and “Anteprima”. The event brings together the most important collections of Italian and international art.

MiArt has turned itself into a necessary instrument to re-launch the art both of the city and the whole of Italy to the world. On the other hand, MiArt will be the union link between the citizens and Milan’s cultural and institutional area.

The Milan International Modern and Contemporary Art Fair organizes some exhibitions in different city locations. The first is based on a series of performances that take place during the Contemporary Art Day in Milan on October 4th. Various conferences will be held along with the best international art figures who will discuss the important cultural, architectural and historic heritage of Milan.

In addition, there will be a new publication that will help people to rediscover art in Milan. This initiative aims to put Milan at the core of Italian culture and economy. Only through collective dialogue Milan may resume the role it deserves in the cultural world. Therefore, MiArt will play a vital role in this new geography. The fair also aims to present parallel initiatives that try to show the changes that the modern art has lived through.

They were patrons of some artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci or Bramante.

Its highest tower holds the golden Madonina, the patron saint of the city.
