In the province of Emilia-Romagna, near the small town of San Pietro in Casale, a house in a vast cornfield. In this typical old Italian house it is one of the major Italian collections of contemporary Russian art. The creator of this collection - an ordinary Italian businessman Pierluigi Selma, on work which has no relation to art. Several years ago, came to Moscow and visit the exhibition of paintings by contemporary Russian artists, suddenly found himself Pierluigi fell in love with art. Since then he has not only buys the works of Russian artists for his collection. He regularly organizes exhibitions and art exhibitions of works of Russian artists, as well as to invite them and their families to themselves, to introduce them to Italy. So love Mr. Selma Russian art has enabled the Italians to get acquainted not only with painting but also with artists from Russia. And for Russian artists it has become not only a pleasant acquaintance with modern Italian colleagues, but also a kind of school (not casual gold medalists of the Academy of Arts of the tsarist government gave a scholarship to study in Italy), and the opportunity for them to appreciate the magnitude and beauty of Italian art.
