Inside Intesa Sanpaolo’s exhibition space there will be a piece from the group’s collection Officine a Porta Romana by Umberto Boccioni. The exhibition will enhance the work and the artistic path, creating an event of great visual impact thanks to interactive projections that celebrate the painting. In addition there is an art installation by Studio Azzurro, which expresses in a poetic way the values of the Bank.
