Photographs' at Cripta di San Michele Arcangelo. The episode also visits Chiasso's m.a.x. museo, featuring over 150 works by max bill. Co-curators Karin Gimmi and Nicoletta Ossanna Cavadini, along with Jakob Bill, will offer commentary. Additionally, Maria Vittoria Baravelli will explore themes of truth and deception through the works of Marina Abramović, Francis Bacon, and Veronica Gaido. Architect Fabio Mangone will present his book on Ulisse Stacchini's Art Déco pavilion in Milan, which is set for restoration.
