Italia in movimento – Autostrade e futuro

Italia in movimento – Autostrade e futuro

2025

Marking the centenary of Italy’s first motorway, this exhibition traces the motorway’s evolution—from its historic beginnings in 1924 to its role today as a driver of technological innovation, landscape integration, and cultural identity.

Through archival materials, period photography, current construction documentation, and a new photographic commission by Iwan Baan, the exhibition reconstructs the timeline of Italy’s motorways. It moves from the early heroic phase of national modernization, through the hypermodern expansion of the postwar decades, to today’s focus on efficiency, sustainability, and future mobility.

More than infrastructure, the motorway is presented as a socio-cultural device—shaping and shaped by the landscapes, values, and technologies of its time.

More about the exhibition.
