Since 1880 a point of reference for artists and students of the Academy of Fine Arts<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In its fourth generation, the Cesare Crespi art workshop in via Brera at the corner of Fiori Oscuri continues to be a point of reference for the students of the Academy and for artists.

In all these years it has seen prominent figures and great personalities pass by, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge that makes their story one of the most important in the Brera district.

It was born in 1880 as a workshop at the behest of Cesare Crespi, but only in 1957 did it become a company at the behest of Elena, his eldest daughter.

These were the boom years for the artists of Brera, a very well-established neighborhood with a bohemian soul, and together with the nearby Bar Jamaica it became a real institution.

Dino Buzzati, Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, are just some of the artists who supplied themselves in the shop and Cesare never denied payment on credit to anyone.

It was a meeting place, for discussion, for the exchange of trends. It wasn’t just a shop, but a big family.

From 1972, upon Elena’s death, the company was taken over by his nephew Cesare Morlacchi, joined in 1992 by his son Massimo who still carries on the business today.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

Alla quarta generazione, la Bottega d\u2019arte Cesare Crespi in via Brera angolo Fiori Oscuri, continua ad essere un punto di riferimento per gli studenti dell\u2019Accademia e per gli artisti.

Ha visto passare in tutti questi anni figure di spicco e grandi personalit\u00e0, portando con s\u00e9 un bagaglio di conoscenze che rendono la loro storia una delle pi\u00f9 importanti del distretto di Brera.

Nacque nel 1880 come bottega per volere di Cesare Crespi, ma solo nel 1957 divent\u00f2 una ditta per volere di Elena , sua figlia maggiore.

Sono gli anni del boom per gli artisti di Brera, affermatissimo quartiere dall\u2019animo boh\u00e8mien, ed insieme al vicino Bar Jamaica diventa una vera e propria istituzione.

Dino Buzzati, Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, sono solo alcuni degli artisti che si rifornivano in bottega e Cesare a nessuno negava mai il pagamento a credito.

Era un luogo di incontro, di confronto, di scambio di tendenze. Non era solo una bottega, ma una grande famiglia.

Dal 1972, alla morte di Elena la ditta venne presa in carico dal nipote Cesare Morlacchi, affiancato dal 1992 dal figlio Massimo che tutt\u2019oggi porta avanti l\u2019attivit\u00e0.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"bottega-arte-cesare-crespi","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"La bottega d'arte Cesare Crespi","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
