Anita & Quinto
The ancient Romans said: "Dotata animi mulier virum regit" and that is "A woman endowed with courage (of spirit) supports (advises) her husband". Anita was a true source of inspiration for Quinto. A muse of the arts who substantially contributed to Urbano Quinto's escalation in the world of art, by picking up the baton relay at his death, by dedicating himself to writing, aimed at divulging the artistic erudition learned in her life, and the memory of her emblematic husband.

Marty Rubin said: "In my travels I have found no answers, only wonders." Anita and Quinto have been in their innumerable travels two hunters of wonders, often hidden and misunderstood, to enrich their art collections.
Anita & Quinto
Urbano Quinto and Anita Bischoff were two great Amphitryons. In their house you could find unexpected guests such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalì, Herbert von Karajan, Edita Gruberova, Emanuel Ungaro, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring or Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Anita & Quinto by Andy Warhol
Anita was photographed several times by Andy Warhol with his famous Polaroids, drawn four times in the New York City Subway by Keith Haring, during his impromptu executions in the empty advertising spaces, and depicted by Jean-Michel Basquiat together with her husband and son Mauro in the series of drawings "Swiss Lady, Swiss Boy and Urb" initially created to be glued on canvas. All these works, largely inedited, will be published exclusively in the book: The World of Urbano Quinto.

Anita discovered casually, in the photographic book Studio 54 by Hasse Persson, published in 2015, the famous photo of her husband Quinto which historicises the first meeting between him and Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger and the stylist Halston at the inauguration of the Studio 54 in New York on April 26, 1977.
Most of the photos, like this one which also portrays Urbano Quinto, taken by the artist inside Studio 54 have never been published since the book was released.
