A focus dedicated to the archive of the contemporary art magazine, acquired by the Museum, on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary.

An unprecedented selection of documents tells the story of the magazine, founded in Pescara in 1976 by the young couple Umberto Sala and Lucia Spadano, which documented the radical changes in the expressive languages of the national and international scene.

segno has helped map contemporary art over the last fifty years through the work of many contributors, passionate in its reporting and criticism, sensitive to artistic and cultural changes and innovations.
