Set back from a leafy stretch of U.S. 9 in Cold Spring stands an industrial building that has served as an agricultural products distribution center and a computer factory, but you wouldn’t know it now. The structure has been remodeled, expanded and reborn as an art exhibition space called Magazzino Italian Art, home to a rotating display of one of the largest and most important collections of post-war and contemporary Italian art in the U.S.
Magazzino, or “warehouse” in Italian, consists of two interconnected, rectangular buildings — the original factory and a new structure — designed by Spanish architect Miguel Quismondo. The project was privately funded by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu, art collectors with a second home in nearby Garrison (the first is in Manhattan) who have amassed nearly 500 pieces of Italian art over three decades.
