The exhibition will be inaugurated in Como on Saturday, 26th September until Sunday, 22nd November 2020.
The exhibition venues will include the Antonio Ratti cultural space – the former Church of San Francesco, the former Church of San Pietro in Atrio, the Pinacoteca Civica, the Palazzo del Broletto and the Silk Museum. All exhibition venues are located within Como city centre.
