MAXXI’s Collection of Art and Architecture represents the founding element of the museum and defines its identity. Since October 2015, it has been on display with different arrangements of works.
Italy as a territory is losing its function as an international cultural center,
it is not nationalizing for itself, but its intellectuals continue the cosmopolitan function,
separiting themselves from the territory and swarming abroad.

“What is an architect?
I think we have to answer that before anything else. Each one of us is different.
When we are working as architects, we are each in a different environment,
in a different society, in different places, and so forth; and because of that,
I don’t believe in emphasizing a technical training for an architect.
I believe much more, in a moral training.

– What do you want from us, we who come from the Old World?
– We need to know whether you’re good enough to enter the New World.
– And so you are God Almighty who decides whether we’re good enough
to enter your land of the other world?
Dialogue in Emanuele Crialese’s movie Golden Door (Nuovo Mondo), 2006
The video interview project recounts the stories, choices and motivations for the exiled Italian architects, as well as their desire to return and a country ready to embrace them.

When you visit Erasmus Effect,
when you hear the stories of these young architects and professionals who have emigrated,
you’ll soon realize just how much talent Italy has been able to waste.
What we could have become. And what we are instead.
Sergio Nava
In this area of the exhibition, thanks to the contribution of the Sergio Nava’s programme Giovani Talenti(Radio24), we can hear from a broader range of migrants: along with the architects are researchers, scientists and technicians who emigrate in search of opportunities and better working conditions.

The work of the Lot-Ekstudio is composed almost exclusively of fragments of transport containers. The exhibition structure only emphasises the sense of “movement” underlying the show, reminding us that all ideas and talents being spent abroad are an active part of a national scientific and creative community that is just waiting to be able to make its contribution.
