Civica raccolta delle stampe Achille Bertarelli
Civica raccolta delle stampe Achille Bertarelli, Print collection museum at Castello Sforzesco, Milan, Italy.
The Civica raccolta delle stampe Bertarelli is a print collection holding more than one million artworks housed within Castello Sforzesco. The holdings include prints and engravings from the 15th century to today, alongside almanacs, calendars, and postcards.
The collection was founded in 1925 when Milanese collector Achille Bertarelli donated his private collection of around 300,000 prints and documents to the city. The holdings have been expanded since then and now form one of the most significant print collections.
The collection displays artistic prints and graphic works that visitors can trace across different periods. These materials document how visual communication evolved through woodcuts, religious engravings, and advertising pieces.
Access to the study rooms requires advance arrangement, with visits possible during weekday mornings and early afternoons. Planning ahead ensures you can spend focused time exploring the collection in the designated research areas.
The museum maintains a regularly updated online catalog that gives direct access to the collection without visiting the archive in person. This digital resource allows visitors to explore many works from home before deciding to visit.
