The Magic of the Labyrinth

Andiamo a caccia di segni nel Labirinto di Arnaldo Pomodoro

Equipped with a map and a flashlight, we go in search of the signs that characterize the art of Arnaldo Pomodoro. We cross mysterious rooms, each with its own story: we will get lost and then find ourselves immersed in its imagery of forms and writings to decipher.

The environmental work “Ingresso nel Labirinto” is an environment of 170 square meters, begun in 1995, inaugurated in 2011, today still in work in progress … Arnaldo Pomodoro's Labyrinth has found its definitive location in the underground spaces of the former Riva-Calzoni building in via Solari 35, once the Museum of the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation, now home to the Fendi Show-room.
