In 2016 the new executive council elected Guido Marcello Poggiani as President and the name of the group has been changed to, “Artists of Via Bagutta Cultural Group” to consider also the various artistic expressions that have gradually been added to painting such as: drawing, sculpture, graphics and photography. The group, besides the free theme artistic awards and exhibitions, is now including wider cultural activities such as: encounters and comparisons, debates; presentation of publications meetings, conferences, at the headquarters in Corso Garibaldi 17. And of course it is open to proposals of collaboration and interaction with the neighbourhood and also with other vital forces of the territory; form collectors of art and those who simply love beauty in all its forms and know how to seek the features and traits in a painting; in the contagious
passion of the artist who, in a street of the city, talks about his work. Or under that Lombardy sky so beautiful when it is beautiful, Just so!
There are aspects of Mi l a n that immediately give the sense of its dynamic and incessant evolution : such as the sparkling skyline of “Porta Nuova” with its steel and glass skyscrapers; the happy “Movida” evenings at the modernised “Darsena” dock; the “LILLA” the new tube line which with no driver on board, transports the people around the city.
Others that seemto cross time;which are in fact Milan as it was yesterday and is today: the rattling of the trams, the sunny yellow colour of the “risott giald” (Milanese risotto); the fragrance of the Panettone in the cake shops at Christmas.
Among all these we like to think of the gossiping saunter of native and non-native Milan people chatting and strolling among the paintings of “Via Bagutta” during the “Open-Air Art Fair”; inaugurated more than half a century ago and still vital during both its events in spring and autumn. We have come a long way since the time of the “Baguttians”!
The “Bagutta Group” was founded in 1964 by Bruno De Cerce, who led the Group till 1979. After him as president of the Group came Aldo Cortina t i l l 1988, then Romualdo Caldarini from 1989 till 2015 (today Honorary President).

For over 7 years the theme of recycling has been in the schedule of various programs and they have brought the association to different municipalities thanks to the RIGENERaRT project (different declinations) and inserted or combined with other events. Workshops are organized for adults and children not only classics but above all with a "recycling" theme, such as creating not only works of art but everyday objects, these are also carried out directly in the classes with the involvement of the family and teachers, starting from a information and awareness in respect of nature.
The management of ArTéGalleria, in the context of the Artepassante project, (recognized as a subject of regional relevance), increases the quality and professionalism of the association by offering a space of 350sqm (and beyond) equipped for art events and beyond, with contamination musical and of different nature, always in the context there are artistic and musical courses.
