A 'Broletto' is a medieval meeting hall of Lombardian cities. It can be encountered in various places of that province, but maybe the most famous till now is the 'Broletto' of the city of Como. A rectangular building with arches, open to all sides and attached to the northern side of the Duomo, the city's cathedral. It is an attractive multicolor construction with different kind of stones and there are several information boards, also in English, telling about the history of this fascinating secular building. From under its arches there are beautiful views towards the Piazza del Duomo in front.

Established in 1995 at the behest of Arnaldo Pomodoro, the Foundation was created to be a place of study and debate over the major issues and greatest contemporary avant-garde figures, and to act as a real cultural center, offering exhibitions, meetings, conferences, book presentations and concerts. It was officially recognised with the DM July 26, 1997, and was recognized as a museum by the Lombardy Region from 2007 to 2015. It has always had a venue where a direct relationship with the public could be maintained: after the experiences of Rozzano and Via Solari in Milan, from 2013 the activity has taken place in Via Vigevano 9, in a space adjacent to the Foundation's Archives and the Artist's Studio.
