The Center for Italian Modern Art (Cima) was an American art museum and research center in the SoHo district of Manhattan, in New York thatspecialized in Italian modern and contemporary art.
[1][2] During its existence, Cima mounted annual exhibitions many of which came from the collection of Gianni Mattioli, father of the museum' founder.
[3][4] Among its 13 exhibitions which focused on Italian artists not typically seen in the United States,[5] it hosted major shows devoted to Fortunato Depero, Alberto Savinio, Giorgio Morandi and Medardo Rosso.
[1] It also published an online journal, Italian Modern Art,[citation needed] and offered fellowships for study at the center or in Italy.
In June 2024, the museum announced it would close later that month citing lingering issues from the COVID-19 pandemic including the cost of transporting art, but hoped to find a home for their archives and work.
