Highlights include an early Alberto Burri from 1943 featuring rare banknotes, a large-scale chalk pastel by Marco Cingolani depicting the Battle of Waterloo, and a Moleskine extrusion by Fabrizio Cotognini. Enzo Cucchi shows a refined 2010 painting, while Piero Gilardi's 1965 Tappeto Natura is noted for its perfect condition. Fausto Melotti's 1967 metal sculpture exemplifies Italian sculpture at its peak. Gianni Pettena's Ice House project from 1972 is shown alongside a Milan exhibition.
