Five interventions, one vision

The exhibition presents five emblematic projects that tell the story of Tobia Scarpa's unique approach to architectural restoration: the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, the church of San Teonisto, the Gallerie delle Prigioni and Ca' Scarpa, all in Treviso, and the new Cultural Center of Treviglio, still under construction.

Despite the variety of functions - from exhibition spaces to places of worship and culture - the common thread is attention to the historical and urban context. Each intervention not only preserves the identity of the place, but reinterprets it, creating significant connections between past, present and future.

The dialogue between past and future

One of the most fascinating aspects of Tobia Scarpa's work is the ability to transform historic buildings into contemporary spaces without distorting their essence.

This is the case of the church of San Teonisto, severely damaged during the Second World War, which has now been reborn as a multifunctional cultural space.

Drawings and photographs on display illustrate the creative and technical process that led to its rebirth, enhancing the traces of the past to generate new opportunities for use.

Simplicity and adaptability: the exhibition

The exhibition, designed by the Bergamo-based studio De8_Architetti, stands out for its sober installation, conceived to be itinerant and adaptable to different contexts.

Simplicity becomes a tool to highlight the materials on display – sketches, models, photographs – and to involve a heterogeneous public, making the complex process of architecture accessible.
