Welcome to the family

28 October 2019

At the Museum they are at home, thanks to them we have discovered the potential beauty of the Museum and we are happy to officially announce their entry into the family. Discover the new "adoptive fathers" of Junior Zagato.

It has strong lines and a signature. She dresses in grey, the colour of elegance and the meeting between black and white. Inequivocally beautiful. If you look at her... she looks a bit like him, maybe that's why they chose her and she's now in the family album of the Fratelli Cozzi Museum. We're talking about the architects Oscar and Gabriele Buratti who adopted Junior Zagato. It was they who, starting from the suggestion of a reflection of light filtering through the glass, sensed the hidden beauty of our Museum and designed it to reveal it to the public.

With the adoption of Junior, Buratti architects will continue to protect and hand down Beauty because, as Gabriele himself pointed out, "Beautyis Value: if you can't find Beauty in everyday life that lies in the beauty of relationships, things, spaces, environments (be it a house or an office) and that It's the beauty of life [...] it's a disaster".

So we hope that for the many visitors who come to visit us, the magic can always be the same as it was for Oscar: "Every time I go back, it always feels like an explosion, like the first time. Feel the scent of Alfa Romeo and Pietro's passion".

In the meantime we have the pleasure to introduce you to the architects OSCAR & GABRIELE BURATTI

Gabriele Buratti (1962), architect and professor of interior architecture at the Faculty of Design of the Politecnico di Milano (2003-2010), and Oscar Buratti (1967), architect, form the architecture and design studio BURATTI ARCHITETTI.

Buratti+Battiston Architects until 2010, with engineer Ivano Battiston.

There are different scales of the project on which the studio works in a transversal way, passing from the architecture of buildings and urban areas to that of interiors, from the design of furniture and objects to the setting up of exhibitions and showrooms, in an intense and varied professional path, where themes, places and typologies, companies and people, materials and processes intertwine, contaminating each other.

They design residential, commercial and industrial buildings, interventions in historical centres and renovations of building complexes, villas and interiors of offices, houses, shops and showrooms, in Italy and abroad, with the intention of combining culture and professional specialization, experimentation and technique, original visions and product quality.

In the retail sector they collaborate with prestigious brands such as La Perla, Automobili Lamborghini, Husqvarna Motorcycles, BMW, Ducati, Oroblù/LeBourget, Acerbis Italia, Tre Marie/Barilla, creating boutiques in the most important cities of the world.

In the design field they collaborate with important companies such as Acerbis International, Alias, Antonio Lupi, B&B Italia, Ceccotti Collezioni, Effetti, Antonio Frattini, Gallotti&Radice, iGuzzini, Living Divani, Paola Lenti, Poliform, Poltrona Frau, Porada, Porro, Roca, Silvelox, Tecno, Valli&Valli, Vondom.

"Beauty is Value: if you can't find in everyday life the Beauty that lies in the beauty of relationships, of things, of spaces, of environments (whether it's a house or an office) and that It's the beauty of life [...] it's a disaster".
