Summary: No other great city of art can claim to have such a thorough, accurate and up-to-date scientific catalog of its artistic heritage. Today, the census of the Milan collections, begun back in the 'seventies, thanks to the enlightened ideas of Humanist banker Raffaele Mattioli, is a perfect model in terms of the thoroughness, completeness, and accuracy of the information. The volume devoted to the Diocesan Museum, which opened in 2011 in the monumental complex of the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio in Milan, presents the entire works of the collection, dating from the 4th to the 21st centuries, which came to the collection in the form of legacies, loans or donations. It includes paintings, sculptures, silver- and gold-work, drawings, unrivalled masterpieces that document art through the ages, starting in the Lombard period, right up to the present day. The Diocesan Museum collection also contains important artworks from the 20th century, including Lucio Fontana's famous Via Crucis. (Musei e Gallerie di Milano)
