exhibition · 2026-05-01

The exhibition 'Evolutio – For 120 Years, We’ve Built Infrastructure for the Future' will open at the Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology in Milan from February 11 to May 11, 2026. Organized by Webuild, this showcase highlights 120 years of Italian innovation through an immersive multimedia journey featuring over 300 visuals, 20 interactive installations, and simulators. Fiorenzo Galli, the museum's director, emphasizes the collaboration with the project, while Webuild's CEO, Pietro Salini, discusses the significant influence of infrastructure on communities. The exhibit covers various themes, including Energy (since 1930), Water (since 1940), Subways (since 1950), Landmark Buildings (since 1960), and Highways and Railways (since 1970). Additionally, Yuri Ancarani will present 'The Power of Work,' using archival footage from Webuild. Entry is free via Olona 6A, and there’s also a Digital Museum with hundreds of works and insights, plus a 'Never Will Happen' section featuring controversial projects.
