Alongside the works of street artists, the catalogue of Modern and Contemporary Art includes paintings, sculptures, works on paper and engravings by famous 20th century artists. It starts with Italian masters such as Giorgio De Chirico, Renato Guttuso, Giorgio Morandi and Ottone Rosai, and goes up to the 1990s.
