more information

A tour through over 300 works – paintings, sculptures, videos, installations, photographs – exploring the ironic streak running through Italian art from the post-war period to the present day, across the work of more than 130 artists.

From Fontana to Cattelan, from Manzoni to Boetti, the exhibition traces how the tension between the tragic and the comic has shaped eighty years of Italian cultural production, dismantling the canon and offering an alternative reading of its history.
