The Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation was established on 7 April 1995 at the behest of Arnaldo Pomodoro, with the aim of guaranteeing the correct conservation and information of all his works, as well as promoting research and moments of confrontation around the most relevant themes and figures of the contemporary avant-garde.
The Foundation looks after and manages the artist's Archive, which documents his work and life, and operates according to Arnaldo Pomodoro's wish to create a "House of Sculpture": a place open to the reinterpretation of 20th century art and to the creativity of young artists, a collective space of living experience for all those who love art.
Thanks to the digital systems of OFFICINEBIT.CH, the Arnaldo Pomodoro Archive together with the Foundation have started the publication of the Catalogue Raisonné online.
Ten years after the publication of the Catalogue Raisonné of Sculpture in paper version (Skira 2007), the overall archiving of Pomodoro's entire oeuvre has been transformed into an in progress project that, starting with sculpture, intends to document all aspects of his activity: drawings, multiples, jewellery, graphics, design studies, applied arts and stage projects.
All the information acquired from the archive during the first cataloguing, together with the data that has emerged from 2007 onwards, as well as the documentation of the other research strands, are destined for an online publication, perfect for giving an open and problematically lively account of the richness and complexity of Pomodoro's work.

The archive and the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation (FAP) are two autonomous but closely interconnected entities. Since its inception, FAP has taken care of the archive, carrying out communication and promotion activities towards the outside world and liaising with the public. For the past few years, it has been managing it directly. In recent years, the work has developed on the one hand in the search for appropriate ways of preserving the various materials and, on the other hand, in the constant relationship with other archives and foundations for the exchange of documents and information and for the comparison of respective experiences on common issues.

A management application for every need
The database application is useful for the Foundation to manage its constantly growing art collection, which includes works and projects by artists collaborating with the Foundation itself.

The Catalogue Raisonné "in your pocket"
Data management is based on an articulated and highly customised programme in Claris Filemaker Pro, which communicates with a web application set up to receive the selected data: this provides a user-friendly interface for all users, directly from the browser of their smartphone or computer.
A multi-year project
The Catalogue Raisonné project, led by the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation, envisages a multi-year development, entrusted to the historical study staff of the Pomodoro Archive with the scientific coordination of the artist himself, in continuity with the catalogue raisonné of sculpture.
