The Jobs Foundation is born from the desire of manger and entrepreneur Giuseppe Forello to create a space to host, preserve and showcase the world’s largest collection of prototypes, machines, materials and documentation related to IT technology. The collection consists of over 4,000 original pieces and to considered one of the most complete in the world.

Alongside this collection of “machines”, we have placed a permanent exhibition of art created by world famous artists together with young and innovative talents. A dialogue, that which exist between IT archaeology and contemporary art, that has served as an inspiration and produced new visual languages, through an aesthetic development known as Technomorphism.
