"MASP is the most important museum in Latin America and all Southern Hemisphere, having an extensive collection of paintings, but also of sculptures gathered since the end of the World War. Located in São Paulo, Brazil, it was created by Pietro Maria Bardi (an Italian journalist) and his wife, Lina Bo Bardi (an architect, who studied in Rome)., and financed by donations from wealthy Brazilian people mainly from the state of São Paulo. This financing was quite colourful, sometimes amounting to sheer extortion by Brazil's most famous press magnate, Assis 'Chatô' Chateaubriand, also nicknamed 'The King of Brazil'."
