An exhibition dedicated to the archive of the contemporary art magazine on its fiftieth anniversary, acquired as part of the Museum’s Collection.

Segno has played a key role in mapping contemporary art over the past fifty years, offering passionate commentary and insightful critique. Its pages have been shaped by the voices of some of Italy’s most important art critics and historians, alongside young writers who found space and recognition within the magazine’s editorial team.

The archival documents trace the rich activity of the magazine—founded in Pescara in 1976 by Umberto Sala and Lucia Spadano—and its dynamic exchange with artists and key figures in the art world. They also capture the vibrant cultural climate of the city, which in the 1970s became a thriving international artistic hub.
