Fendi Turns Its Headquarters Into A Theatre Of Art
From large-scale arches and luxurious sculptures to buildings constructed for spectacles and the Latin word, the Romans pioneered many feats of engineering, design, the performance arts and language. Fendi’s latest effort to use art to spotlight Italian heritage and culture thus could not be more fitting. Hosted at the brand’s headquarters in Rome till Oct 1, “Arnaldo Pomodoro. Il Grande Teatro delle Civilta” – or “Arnaldo Pomodoro. The Great Theatre of Civilizations” – is a recently opened public exhibition showcasing about 30 works of its namesake artist: a Montefeltro-born, Milan-based nonagenarian sculptor whose expansive repertoire fuses all four aforementioned disciplines, and whose creations look like they hail from another space and time. We head to the Eternal City for an exclusive visit and offer a peek into the world of this architect of dreams.
