“The Italian Art of Excellence” is the exhibition devoted to the objects that have made their mark on the history of Italian and international ways of life and cultures and have found their way onto the whole world’s markets.
Last but not least, the exhibition on the earthquake, “Before, Immediately, Tomorrow”, starts out from photographs of the earthquake that struck on 6 April this year and focuses on the solutions adopted to build safe homes..
