The Gallerie d'Italia in Milan is hosting the exhibition "Arnaldo Pomodoro: A Life. The great works of the Intesa Sanpaolo and Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro Collections" from May 29 to October 18, 2026. Curated by Luca Massimo Barbero and Federico Giani, the show presents 45 works spanning over sixty years of the sculptor's career, from the 1950s to the 2000s, including pieces like *Cubo* (1964-1967), *Movimento di crollo* (1970-1971), and monumental outdoor works *Disk in the Form of Desert Rose No. 1* (1993-1994) and *Large Sphere* (1966-1967). The exhibition serves as a tribute one year after Pomodoro's death and coincides with the centenary of his birth.
This exhibition matters because it offers a comprehensive retrospective of Arnaldo Pomodoro, one of the most significant Italian sculptors of the 20th century, whose work explores themes of movement, instability, and transformation. By drawing from both the Intesa Sanpaolo Collections and the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation, the show provides rare access to lesser-known works alongside iconic pieces, contextualized by archival documents. It also underscores the ongoing role of corporate and foundation partnerships in preserving and presenting Italy's modern art heritage.
