Pistoletto's 'Infinity' show success tied to accessibility and participation

The exhibition 'Infinity. Michelangelo Pistoletto' at the Chiostro del Bramante in Rome has been praised for its accessibility and participatory design. Silvia Andreozzi, head of the Educational Department, explained that the show's didactic apparatus, including panels and an audioguide for kids, was crafted to engage all audiences. Pistoletto himself approved the educational materials and gave a memorable guided tour before the opening. A highlight is 'Terzo Paradiso' (2003–2023), a large symbol made of drum cymbals and lids that visitors can play, creating infinite sound possibilities. The Chiostro Summer Art program offered bilingual art days for children aged 5–10, combining visits, workshops, and neighborhood explorations. Starting September, schools can book workshops and themed visits focusing on contemporary languages, sustainability, and inclusivity. Multisensory experiences are integral to the educational approach, including accessible visits in Italian Sign Language (LIS) and tactile explorations by appointment.
