Museum Remo Rossi

The Remo Rossi Foundation's mission is to preserve and promote the work of Locarno-born sculptor Remo Rossi (1909-1982). Its headquarters are located in Locarno at Via F. Rusca 8, in the artist's home, which underwent careful restoration between 2012 and 2013. Exhibitions related to Rossi and the artistic and cultural environment in which he worked are held here, and his extensive art library and archive documentation are available for consultation.

The exhibition "The Bull. The Spirit of Locarno, 100 Years after the Pact," organized in October 2025, was part of the celebrations for the centenary of the Peace Conference held in Locarno in October 1925. It also commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the peace agreements, in 1975, when the Locarno-born sculptor donated his work "The Bull" to his city, which is now located in the Rusca Gardens.

In October 2026, ten years after the Remo Rossi Foundation opened to the public, the exhibition "Heritage in Motion. A Decade of Artistic Promotion at the Remo Rossi Foundation" was inaugurated. The aim of the exhibition, which summarizes the exhibitions organized in recent years, culminates in a celebration of Remo Rossi's major works, such as the "Pardo," the "Sea Seal," the "San Carlo a Cavallo," the "Toro," and the "Helvetia," alongside a collection of drawings and lithographs by the Locarno-born artist and his artist friends (Daniele Buzzi, Jean Arp, Hans Richter, Italo Valenti, Carlo Mazzi, Paul Erni).
