Borders and frontiers to be crossed, connecting bridges. But also migrations in search of new opportunities. In the world of cinema, these highly symbolic and actual concepts are often narrated in terms of geographic line that cannot be crossed or openings towards freedom.

Cinema has paid few but significant visits to Milan and its architecture. In the history of Italian cinema set in Milan, from the post-war period to this day, squares and streets, as well as historical buildings and contemporary architecture, play the lead.

The places of power and the architectures representing them portrayed in the movies, there are countless exaples, involving all cinematographic genres. Government buildings, churches, headquarters, imaginary architectures. The real or phantastic palazzi, where story lines and characters are decided.

The exhibition, curated by Luca Molinari and Chiara Ingrosso brings together 70 Italian architects to the Palazzo Reale of Caserta, giving life to a comparison between story and image for a contemporary vision of Dante’s Divina Commedia. From 8 to 29 March.
