On the occasion of Museocity InTour (https://www.museocity.it/intour/, routes The sculpture and Porta Romana) it is possible to visit the exhibition Somaini and Milan. Beyond the sculpture: the city set up in Foundation until 6 November.
The exhibition, curated by Fulvio Irace and Luisa Somaini, presents a hundred works including drawings, projects, models, sculptures and photomontages and documents Somaini’s reflection and aspiration to shape cities with his interventions. Alongside the well-known metropolitan visions of New York, there are many unpublished materials that document the artist’s constant attention to the Lombard cities (Bergamo, Como, Mantua) and to Milan. A real preview of the use of greenery as an alternative to urban congestion are the drawings for Milan and Paris, from the park to Largo Marinai d’Italia to the Parisian competition of the Parc de La Villette. Also exhibited projects, photomontages, drawings of his revolutionary visions of European metropolises (Düsseldorf, Duisburg) that amaze for the radical nature of the urban solutions.
