Architect, designer, art director, writer, poet, critic, Gio Ponti is at the center of a historical-critical legacy and a nearly peerless production of works.
Forty years after his death, MAXXI presents a major retrospective to study and illustrate his versatile activity, starting precisely from the narration of his works of architecture.
The exhibition Gio Ponti. Amare l’architettura, curated by Maristella Casciato and Fulvio Irace, with Margherita Guccione, Salvatore Licitra, Francesca Zanella, is produced by MAXXI in collaboration with CSAC-Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione of the University of Parma, which contains the professional archives of Gio Ponti, and by the Gio Ponti Archives.
