Vitalità dell’architettura italiana 1946–2026

The exhibition opens with interviews with some of the most prominent figures in Italian architecture – Stefano Boeri, Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo, Massimiliano Fuksas, Renzo Piano, Franco Purini, Elisabetta Terragni, Paola Viganò, and Cino Zucchi – and by an installation paying homage to the Monument to the Fallen in the Nazi Extermination Camps by Studio BBPR in Milan, reinterpreted by Matilde Cassani. The opening section comprises archival materials that focus on the major cultural and social themes addressed by architects and urban planners in democratic and post-war Italy. An era in which Italian architecture ‘set out anew’, fuelled by public initiative, generating the major projects that helped shape the nation’s identity.
