M.A.B. - Bilotti Open-Air Museum

Opened in 2006 and enriched in the following years, it is unique in the Cosenza art scene: a true open-air art gallery, created in the city's main commercial artery, Corso Mazzini, an area intended for the people of Cosenza to take a stroll. It hosts various works of modern and contemporary art by nationally and internationally renowned artists, donated by the Bilotti family.

From the works of French artist Sasha Sosno - Le tre colonne doriche (The Three Doric Columns), I bronzi di Riace (The Riace Bronzes) and Il sette di cuori (The Seven of Hearts) - in which the artist plays with empty spaces, to those of Giorgio De Chirico - Il Grande Metafisico (The Great Metaphysician), Gli Archeologi (The Archaeologists), Ettore e Andromaca (Hector and Andromache) - in which the enigmatic figures of De Chirico's mannequins recur, to Il Grande Cardinale (The Great Cardinal) and La testa di Medusa (The Head of Medusa) by Giacomo Manzù and the beautiful bronze group San Giorgio e il drago (St. George and the Dragon) by Salvador Dalí, a struggle between chaos and reason. Also present in the exhibition is Calabrian artist Mimmo Rotella, whose great skills as a sculptor can be seen in the bronze Rinascita della Cultura (Rebirth of Culture) and the massive Lupo della Sila (Wolf of Sila) in green travertine. The Grande Bagnante (The Great Bather) by Emilio Greco from Catania, a symbol of feminine beauty, and the works of Pietro Consagra - Il Ferro Rosso (The Red Iron), I quattro paracarri (The Four Kerbstones) and La Bifrontale (The Two-Faced) - and the recent Testa di Cariatide (Head of a Caryatid) by Modigliani complete the museum tour.
