The Bicycle Renaissance Exhibition at Triennale Milano

Curated by Paolo Manfredi, 'The Bicycle Renaissance' at Triennale Milano showcases 15 bicycles—from city bikes to racing models, carbon fiber designs to tailor-made creations—in an exhibition designed by Lanzavecchia + Wai. The display, centered on a long workbench with raw materials, frames, wheels, and tech gadgets, explores three themes: artisan craftsmanship, sustainable mobility (including bike sharing and cycle tourism), and future innovations in materials and performance. The exhibition is supported by main sponsor Banca Ifis and includes a forum on the bicycle economy on March 22 with Confartigianato. After Milan, it will travel to Tel Aviv as an ambassador of Made in Italy, coinciding with the Giro d'Italia start. The bicycle industry in Italy generates €1.2 billion in revenue. This is the latest chapter in Manfredi's ongoing narrative on bicycles, following his sections at New Craft 2016 at Fabbrica del Vapore and Maker Faire Rome.
