CREATING A CULTURAL HUB. Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu are the co-founders of Magazzino Italian Art, a museum and research center dedicated to postwar and contemporary Italian art that is located in Cold Spring, New York. Magazzino opened in 2017 at the former manufacturing site of Cyberchron rugged military computer systems. The name Magazzino translates as "warehouse".

"Magazzino made the step that has made Arte Povera better known today."

"Magazzino will never stop displaying the 13 heroes that we have in the group of Arte Povera, so the original 'main building' will always remain a museum dedicated to Arte Povera."

"The donkeys in Sardinia were on the verge of extinction and were under very strict protection with laws that would not allow their export outside Sardinia."
