Description:
The aristocratic collector of modern art, Carlo Bilotti, who made a fortune in international cosmetics, donated his celebrated collection to the city of Rome upon his death in 2006. He not only purchased great pieces of modern art but also became friends with many of the artists, including Andy Warhol, Lichtenstein, Dalí, Rivers, Rotella, and de Chirico. The works are displayed in a restored orangery that had been allowed to decay for many years. Works donated by Bilotti are displayed in rooms arranged specifically for a certain artist; other salons are devoted to changing exhibits of some of the major modern artists in the world.
