Art and architecture in Italy during the European Union’s early years
As part of the events marking the Italian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the exhibition provides an insight to the artistic and architectural debate in Italy in the years when the European Union was first conceived. It covers the 30-plus years of works on the building that eventually become the home of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the focus on the artists and architects involved in creating the building in the 1950s and ’60s.
