Fondazione Francesco Pasquinelli presents the exhibition “Architect Enrico Peressutti and His Friends,” from Tuesday, April 14 to Friday, April 24, 2026, at its Milan venue. The exhibition focuses on Enrico Peressutti, a key figure in twentieth-century Italian architecture and co-founder in 1932 of the BBPR group with Gian Luigi Banfi, Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso, and Ernesto Nathan Rogers. The show weaves architecture, art, and design, highlighting Peressutti’s cultural relationships. Paintings and sculptures by collaborators such as Max Bill, Saul Steinberg, Alexander Calder, Luigi Veronesi, and Fausto Melotti will be on display, alongside key examples of Peressutti’s design and architectural work.
