Architectural awards and exhibitions conclude in Italy

The Expo Arte dei Due Mari architecture section has concluded its cycle of initiatives, led by curator Michele Palamara and the Order of Architects. The program featured the ‘Oltre il fronte 2026’ Call for Projects, which received submissions from 62 architecture studios across Italy. A high-profile jury, chaired by Guendalina Salimei, selected 21 projects based on conceptual adherence and formal innovation.

In a separate event, architect Vincenzo Acciarri of San Benedetto del Tronto was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Premi IN/Architettura 2026 Marche-Umbria ceremony in Fermo. The award recognizes Acciarri’s significant contribution to contemporary architecture and his connection to the Modern Movement and the influence of Alvar Aalto.
