Contemporary art developments in Italy

Overview

The contemporary art scene in Italy is experiencing a period of new gallery openings and major exhibitions, particularly in Milan and Rome.

In early October 2026, Milan saw the relocation of the ORMA gallery near Central Station, focusing on cultural exchange between Europe and Latin America with works by Argentine and Brazilian artists. In Rome, the Dada Orler Art Gallery opened a new space on via Margutta, while the blowart contemporary space in the Aurelio district launched an installation by Emanuela Mastria.

By mid-October, Milan’s major cultural institutions also hosted significant projects. The PAC Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea presented ‘Ri-scatti Prima che sia notte’, a photography project by 23 migrant and refugee women documenting their journeys and rights. Simultaneously, MUDEC launched ‘Matisse. Il mondo in una stanza’, an exhibition of approximately 100 works exploring Henri Matisse’s engagement with international cultures and color.
