Sky Arte Documentary on Gaetano Pesce Airs November 15
Sky Arte HD will broadcast a documentary on Gaetano Pesce on Tuesday, November 15, exploring his vast output. The architect and designer uses architecture and design to interpret contemporary life, including its flaws. Known for breaking disciplinary boundaries, Pesce recently proposed a design for the Messina Bridge. Until February, Florence's Museo Novecento hosts 'Maestà tradita', a multisensory exhibition on the female figure. The opening was marked by a prank: Vittorio Sgarbi falsely announced Pesce's death, in response to Mayor Nardella blocking an installation for Piazza Santa Maria Novella until Pesce—alive but recovering from spinal surgery in New York—could return to Italy.
