ERA Gallery
Via Gioacchino Rossini 3

A leading figure in the worlds of art and architecture, Nanda Vigo was close to the German “Zero Group” art movement and collaborated with such notable figures as Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana, Giò Ponti, and many others. Her work played a central role in the development of Italian modernist art, design and architecture.

The exhibition explores the eclecticism of a woman capable of combining rational thought and esotericism, an approach that was rigorous and rationalist but also exuberant and almost baroque.


The exhibition is extended until July 12, 2025.

Fondazione Achille Castiglioni
Piazza Castello, 27

The exhibition-through the story of the displays in the Foundation's rooms-brings out the aspect that many recognize in Achille: playfulness.
From an idea of Giovanna Castiglioni, Achille's youngest daughter, arose the desire to put on display the games of when she was a child. Designer Marco Marzini has created inside the Fondazione Achille Castiglioni a dynamic display with the pleasure of exhibiting unpublished materials, sometimes fragile, unobtainable, sometimes common to other people's childhoods, and will be a real pleasure to find a way, in some cases, for visitors to try out the games.
