(Adnkronos) - “La mostra 'Italia in movimento. Autostrade e futuro' è un incontro di volontà interessanti perché da un lato c'è un gruppo dirigente, quello di Autostrade per l'Italia, che vuole prendere in mano il futuro della società; mentre dall’altro c'è un sapere e una cultura dell’architettura e della città che da molti anni riflette sul come le autostrade interagiscono con il territorio, con i luoghi, con le città, con le persone e con il Paese”. Così il senior curator di architettura del Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, Pippo Ciorra, rispondendo alle domande dei cronisti dopo la conferenza stampa di presentazione della mostra fotografica, allestita all’interno del MAXXI, dal titolo: ‘Italia in movimento. Autostrade e futuro’. Una esposizione che sarà possibile visitare dal 6 dicembre 2024 fino al 2 febbraio 2025.

00:00Italy in motion, motorways and the future, I think it's an interesting meeting of wills.
00:09On the one hand, a group of leaders that has taken over the motorway society only a year and a half, two years,
00:16so it's like taking over the future of this incredible device.
00:21And on the other hand, a knowledge, a culture of architecture and of the city that for many years
00:27has been built on how the motorways interact with the territory, with the places, with the cities, with the people and with the country.
00:34So putting together these two conditions, both interesting and both proactive, I would say,
00:41a project was born that could, on the one hand, tell the extraordinary occasions that have arisen in the country
00:50from the presence of the motorway in architecture, in engineering, in landscape design, in technical and technological design.
00:57On the other hand, to understand how we can see the future when we no longer need to lengthen the motorway,
01:04but to make it safer, more efficient, more capable, more connected, more sustainable, more capable of generating energy,
01:12rather than simply spending it.
01:15Yes, let's say that the exhibition has two levels.
01:18There is a thematic level, in which we tell about the network, the journey, the presence that is in the motorway,
01:24the visions that the motorway generates or the ideas that it brings out.
01:29On the other hand, this necessarily corresponds also to different periods,
01:34that is, in the first phase, the expansion of the network, in the central phase,
01:38everything that the motorway has built around itself and within itself.
01:42And in the future, which we look at with a certain caution, because it is always dangerous to expose it to the future,
01:49experiments by Renzo Piano, drawings by an illustrator who tells a kind of dreamlike condition of tomorrow's motorway,
01:58and then these beautiful photos, which we all hope to appreciate.
02:02Ivan Ban is probably the most sought-after and authoritative architecture photographer today.
02:11And so I think we also found the golden opportunity there for both, for the motorways,
02:18to find the most suitable person who could make a portrait of this system of connections.
02:25On the other hand, for Ivan it was an extraordinary opportunity,
02:28because he really has a passion for this vision from above,
02:31to fly with the helicopter on things and make them become extraordinary objects of landscape portraits.
