Projects

The Fondazione promotes studies and cultural events involving scholars, artists and national and international institutions in order to enhance the historical, cultural and artistic heritage of the Brivio Sforza, Barbiano di Belgiojoso d'Este and Trivulzio families. The Palazzi Brivio Sforza and Belgiojoso in Milan and the Villa Belgiojoso Brivio Sforza in Merate are central to the planning of the activities.

Volumes

Fondazione Brivio Sforza promotes and organises presentations of new volumes and documents in the Foundation's archives. The dissemination and diffusion of these works is one of the main objectives to disseminate and hand down the history and cultural heritage of the Brivio Sforza, Trivulzio and Barbiano di Belgiojoso d'Este families by making it available to the general public as well as to historians and researchers.

Anniversaries

Through dedicated projects, the Foundation celebrates the most significant anniversaries in the lives and works of figures linked to the Brivio Sforza, Trivulzio and Belgiojoso families.

From the 150th anniversary of the death of Cristina Trivulzio di Belgiojoso to the 100th anniversary of the Brivio Sforza family in Merate, these tailor-made projects are also developed in collaboration with other institutions and designed to deepen and enhance the contribution that these figures or places have made to history, culture and art.

Artistic Residencies

The Belgiojoso and Brivio Sforza Palaces and the Villa of Merate have always hosted artists thanks to the patronage of their families. A tradition that still today involves young artists through the organisation of artistic residencies. These occasions offer emerging talents the opportunity to live and work in contexts of great historical and cultural value. The artistic residencies foster a creative dialogue between the Foundation's heritage and contemporary artistic and musical expressions.

Concerts

Palazzo Brivio Sforza and Palazzo Belgiojoso in Milan, together with Villa Belgiojoso Brivio Sforza in Merate, are central spaces in the planning of cultural activities. The concerts, featuring nationally and internationally renowned musicians and ensembles, enhance not only the architectural heritage but also the cultural tradition of the families living there.
