"Brutalist Italy: The Art of Concrete"
Photographs by Italians Roberto Conte and Stefano Perego will be presented at the
Polo Cultural ItaliaNoRio in an exhibition making its Brazilian debut.
Globally recognized for documenting Italian architecture, photographers Roberto Conte and Stefano Perego spent over five years traveling across their home country, covering nearly 20,000 kilometers to document a vast array of Brutalist buildings. Completed primarily between the 1960s and 1980s and characterized by the use of exposed reinforced concrete, as well as clear and well-defined structural elements, these structures delineate an essential and unique aesthetic. A significant portion of these records will be on display in "Brutalist Italy: The Art of Concrete," an exhibition opening to the public at the Polo Cultural ItaliaNoRio in the city center on July 4.
