Since its foundation in 1968 Galleria dello Scudo has devoted its activity to showing modern and contemporary art, above all that of the finest Italian artists from the first half of the Twentieth century.
It organized with public bodies rigorous and highly researched shows of great importance which, owing to their striking approach, have had great critical and popular success.
Amongst the most historically important have been de Chirico, gli anni Venti (de Chirico in the Twenties, 1986-87) and Realismo Magico - Pittura e scultura in Italia 1919-1925 (Magic Realism - Painting and Sculpture in Italy 1919-1925, 1988-89), both of them then transferred to Palazzo Reale in Milan; the view on the Alberto Savinio’s Parisian journey (1990-91); Boccioni 1912 Materia (1991-92); Morandi ultimo - nature morte 1950-1964 (The Later Morandi - Still Lifes 1950-1964, 1997-98), then transferred to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and de Chirico, gli anni Trenta (de Chirico in the Thirties), (1998-99).
