The Vittoriale degli Italiani - the Extraordinary Dwelling of Gabriele D’Annunzio
Just a handful of kilometres from Milan stands one of the most eccentric and extraordinary homes in Italy. The original furnishings, the charming atmosphere and suffused light, the library, the spectacular park, all celebrate the genius of an eclectic and truly original man.
Created to enhance the museum’s collections, the exhibition displays a collection of “exotic” artefacts brought from different parts of the world by Milanese citizens, enthusiasts, businessmen, travellers, researchers.
A major retrospective exhibition, with over 300 original photographic works including vintage and period prints, documents and archive materials dedicated to the gentle genius of Italian photography - Mario Giacomelli - on the occasion of the centenary of his birth.
2025 marks the centenary of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, the event that marked the affirmation of the “1925 Style” or Art Deco. To celebrate the anniversary, the exhibition presents extraordinary examples of Italian and European decorative arts.
