The Association Archivio Pietro Consagra, was founded, with notarial deed, on July 30, 2001 by Pietro Consagra who donated to the institution the copyrights for the reproduction and for every other form of utilization of his work. The artist moreover donated the documents, manuscripts, printed matter, photographs inherent to his activity as artist and writer, as well as the drawings and models that testify to the methods of his work as sculptor. 

Upon its constitution, the committee of founding members appointed as director of the Archivio Pietro Consagra Gabriella Di Milia Slavist, teacher of Art History and wife of the artist.

The Association intended, according to that set forth in the Articles of Association, to ensure protection of the artistic patrimony of Pietro Consagra promoting studies and investigations, on a national and international level, of his work, assuming every other initiative, including the organization of exhibitions, taking the necessary measures, also od a legal nature, against possible falsehoods or other unlawful actions, and initiating cataloguing for the publication of the “Catalogo Generale delle Opere” (General Catalogue of the Works).

The Association moreover provided for conservation of archive material, of the library and of all printed material relative to the artistic work, to the civil and literary undertaking and to the biography of Pietro Consagra.

The Archive informs that arbitrary polishing of bronze sculptures may damage the original patinas executed by Pietro Consagra in special ways, which is why it follows and oversees necessary restorations of all of the artist’s sculptures. As for the painted iron works, the Archivio has the color combinations established by Consagra and by his will is authorized to restore them. Improperly polished bronze sculptures and irons restored in color tones that do not conform to the original are considered and attested to be damaged.
