Biennale President Proposes Permanent Home for Italy Pavilion Works
During a visit to the Italy Pavilion at the Biennale Arte 2026, Italian Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli and Biennale President Pietrangelo Buttafuoco discussed a plan to give the works a permanent home. Buttafuoco expressed hope that Chiara Camoni's work, or a significant part of it, could be permanently placed after the exhibition ends. The Biennale di Venezia sees this as a potential future direction, where each year's Italy Pavilion works could be acquired by museums, public institutions, or other venues across Italy, ensuring their continued life and public access. This initiative aims to build and preserve Italy's contemporary art heritage, supported by the Ministry of Culture through the Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea.
