C’è vitalità nell’architettura italiana degli ultimi 80 anni? La mostra al MAXXI prova a rispondere

The MAXXI museum in Rome has opened a major exhibition titled "Vitalità dell’architettura italiana 1946-2026" on May 28, inaugurated by Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli. Curated by Pippo Ciorra and Elena Tinacci, the show marks the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic, moving beyond celebration to critically assess the state of contemporary Italian architecture. It features a video installation with eight leading architects over 65, a historical section drawing on the museum's archives, and a central section highlighting eight contemporary Italian studios born between the late 1970s and early 1980s—dubbed the "Erasmus generation"—alongside a section on emerging architects through the museum's YAP and NXT programs.
