Magazzino Italian Art announced its six-year anniversary on June 25, 2023, marked by the unveiling of a special project dedicated to the renowned artist Michelangelo Pistoletto. This date coincides with Maestro Pistoletto's 90th birthday, making it a truly momentous occasion for both the artist and the museum.

Pistoletto's presence in the Olnick Spanu Collection and his significant contributions to the history of Magazzino resonate throughout the galleries of the museum. For the inaugural opening of Magazzino, the museum unveiled Stracci italiani (Italian Rags, 2007), a work that was commissioned to commemorate the anniversary of Italy's unification. The tricolor Italian flag made of discarded fabric greets visitors upon entering the lobby.
