The splendid Tapestry Room at Maga remains a shining testimony to two Missoni peculiarities: visionary talent and local roots. It is no coincidence that the heads of the Gallarate Museum, President Mario Lainati and Director Emma Zanella, defined Rosita, on the day of her passing, as “a woman of great culture and a symbol of elegance and creativity, whose spirit and vision will continue to inspire and guide us”. A name, that of Missoni, inextricably linked to our city, comments Mayor Andrea Cassani, who in 2019 awarded the family of great stylists the honor of the Two Galli. That of Rosita – adds Lombardy Governor Attilio Fontana – is a great loss for all of Italy and it particularly saddens Lombardy and Varese, given the enormous affection of the Missoni spouses for our province”. “An icon of style and creativity leaves us”, concludes Regional Councilor for Culture Francesca Caruso.
