The Legend of Speed. Art, Motorization and Society in 20th Century Italy
Speed is the focal point of this fascinating and scenically spectacular exhibition produced by Contemporanea Progetti and Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, a theme developed in all its forms through a chronological overview of the 20th century that goes on to explore a range of entrancing future scenarios. Engines and their inseparable links with art will constitute the primary basis for exploration and interpretation of other key strands such as design, cinema and fashion in a trajectory encapsulating a century of Italian life. Automobiles of various periods, motorcycles, aeroplanes, period photographs and videos will accompany the visitors on a journey of mind and body, both cultural and sensory, through the history of Italy as seen through the eyes of those who conceived, wrote and experienced it in a state of constant acceleration.
