Continuing towards home, we made another stop at Magazzino Italian Art in Cold Spring, NY. It is billed as a museum and research center dedicated to advancing scholarship and the public appreciation of postwar and contemporary Italian art and culture. Magazzino is "warehouse" in Italian and it was founded by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu.
Even as seniors, we appreciate the money we save through our Tyler Arboretum membership and reciprocity.
