Maurizio Sacripanti 1916-1996
Competition for the Italian Pavilion at the Osaka ’70 International Exposition
In movement, pulsating, enclosed by an envelope that mutates in an unpredictable, living way: Maurizio Sacripanti’s entry for the Competition for the Italian Pavilion at the Osaka ’70 International Exposition.
On hsow will be drawings, photographs, documents, a model and video interviews devoted to the pavilion space in order to explore the poetic and the design processes of a great architect.
MAXXI has devoted monographic exhibitions to Carlo Scarpa, Luigi Moretti, Pier Luigi Nervi, Ludovico Quaroni, Giovanni Michelucci, Michele Valori and Alessandro Anselmi since 2010. In this context, a tribute to Maurizio Sacripanti as the centenary of his birth approaches is essential.
