Italy is hosting a wide range of cultural and artistic events across several cities. In Venice, Palazzo Grassi has announced a transition to a permanent display of 106 works from the Pinault Collection starting in March 2027.

Other major exhibitions include the Deloitte Photo Grant winners in Milan, a collection of 140 works from the German Scharf Collection in Genoa, and a multimedia project in Naples celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic. Regional shows are also active in Turin, Rome, Reggio Calabria, and Brescia.

Further developments include the opening of the ‘Radici – Ligabue/Scipione/Zavattini’ exhibition in Teramo, featuring unpublished pieces, and Mircea Cantor’s ‘Costellazioni dell'antico’ at Rome’s Palazzo Altemps, which creates a dialogue between contemporary works and ancient sculptures.
