Description

A veritable film on paper through 92 plates/frames comprising solely images and drawings, colours and architectural references interspersed with 92 pages where words rule. For six months during the Shanghai World Expo 2010 all of the thirty thousand visitors per day at the Italian Pavilion walked through a space magically designed by a symphony of images and sounds. Italy of the Cities condenses an urban and architectural history of more than two thousand years, suggesting a vision for the cities of tomorrow, and at the same time allows everyone to experience the breathtaking magic of a journey to Italy.
