Palazzo Monti is a cultural center hosting a residency program, an exhibition space and a private collection, founded in 2017 and located in Brescia, Italy.

 

In 2025, Palazzo Monti has added Fertile to its portfolio: a 300sqm building located just a few minutes’ walk from the palace, to expand its cultural activities and residencies.

The Palazzo is an incubator for creativity and productivity, offering artists a chance to find inspiration, forge new relationships and create collaborations.

“I’ve been doing long-term projects, so, for instance, I just finished uploading and writing stories and creating exhibitions on our Google Arts and Culture platforms so that people can access the collection remotely.

“This isn’t about me. It’s about creating culture.”

As the residence marks its fourth anniversary this spring, it is stepping up its activities by welcoming its first honorary board, comprising celebrated members such as gallerist Massimo Minini; Katy Hessel, founder of The Greater Woman Artist; MSGM founder and designer Massimo Giorgetti; collector Umberta Gnutti Beretta; and designer Sabine Marcelis. All will also mentor, as well as assisting in selecting artists from all over the world according to their diverse field of knowledge. “I didn’t want a project that was limited to my own taste of art,” says Monti.
