Some important issues: The first who considered Palazzo Citterio as a possibility to enlarge the spaces for the gallery was Franco Russoli, director of Brera between 1973 and 1977.
The project has had many stop-and-go since the first Nineties of XX Century.
The building will host the collection of contemporary art, spaces for temporary exhibitions and a restaurant.
