Just a 40-minute drive or three Metro-North stops from Poughkeepsie, sits the only American museum dedicated to post-war and contemporary Italian art. Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring, a nonprofit museum and research center, serves to celebrate Italian artists and display their creative practices, from Arte Povera to the present.

Just over a month ago, the museum released its new leadership team introducing its new Director Adam Sheffer ’90, Artistic Director Paola Mura, Chief Operating Officer Monica Eisner and Director of Education Nicola Lucchi.
