The Vera and Giovanni Pieraccini Collection consists of around 2300 works of art by mainly 20th century artists, for the most part from Italy and Western Europe, but with a significant number from the rest of the world, with a total number of 699 recognised authors.
The graphic works count for over two thirds of the collection, together with paintings and sculptures mainly by 20th century Italian artists. There are also substantial sections of craft and art works from Asia and South America, some of which would be classified as “ethnic art”, and archaeological artefacts from the mediterranean region and beyond, as well as various objects dating to the early 20th century.
The collection also testifies to the biography of Giovanni Pieraccini and his wife Vera, and was formed little by little through their life experience, thanks to numerous encounters, journeys, “loves at first sight”, but first and foremost to their true passion and curiosity for any form of artistic expression, especially those of their contemporaries.
Viareggio – Giovanni’s hometown – and Rome – the city where the couple lived – both play an important role in some of the collection’s main parts, and sheds further light on the primary characteristic of their collecting criteria – direct contact and knowledge of places and artists.
