Franco Mazzucchelli and Fulvio Morella Collaborate in Milan Exhibition on Play and Inclusivity

On September 17, 2025, Palazzo Lombardia in Milan inaugurates "LUDI – L’arte è un abbraccio," a group exhibition featuring Franco Mazzucchelli and Fulvio Morella. Curated by Sabino Maria Frassà and promoted by Cramum and Regione Lombardia, the show is part of the Olimpiade Culturale leading up to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The title references play as a universal language of inclusion. Morella contributes turned wood and Braille works, while Mazzucchelli presents inflatable sculptures. Their collaborative piece, "Ludi," was designed by Morella and reinterpreted together. The exhibition is the second stop of Morella's itinerant project "Limiti non esistono," which uses multisensory art to communicate Paralympic values of accessibility, empathy, and sharing. The show has patronage from the Comitato Italiano Paralimpico (CIP) and the Istituto Louis Braille of Paris. Organizers describe the exhibition as a manifesto for art as a space for openness, confrontation, and sharing, celebrating cohesion, joy, and the beauty of encounter.
