The Piero Manzoni Archive was founded in 1992 by the artist's family to take care of the archiving of Piero Manzoni's works.
Due to the breadth of its activities and the international recognition of its work, since 2009 the Archive has changed its legal status into a Foundation, continuing to research, preserve, protect and promote the work of the artist.
The Foundation is concerned with safeguarding the market, archiving works that a committee of experts considers authentic, protecting operators and collectors from the numerous forgeries in circulation.
Archiving and verifying the authenticity of the works require a versatile cataloging tool: the software solution developed specifically for the Piero Manzoni archive is constantly updated, developing all the necessary aspects that the study of the work requires.
