The great achievements of the Alitalia airline between 1960 and 1961 also comprise the exact period in which the nucleus of the entire collection was formed. The idea of bringing works of art on board aircraft was Corrado Cagli’s, who had to garner the support of engineer Bruno Velani. He had two clear objectives: to make the flight more pleasant by stimulating the traveller\'s aesthetic sensibilities and to disseminate 意大利 artistic culture abroad. Cagli, helped by his friend and gallery owner Bruno Herlitzka, directly commissioned some of the paintings exhibited in the aircraft from the most talented young artists.

[...] Taken as a whole, the collection constitutes a rare compendium of what was happening mainly between 1954 and 1962, thus documenting a good part of the major trends in the 意大利 art world (Burri, Fontana, Gruppo degli Otto, Forma 1, etc.).
